BBS Transition - September 2026 | Class of 2031
Welcome to Burton Borough School
At Burton Borough School, we believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to thrive in a supportive and inspiring environment. As you prepare to join our school community, we’re excited to welcome you to a place where ambition is nurtured, pride is celebrated, and care for one another is at the heart of everything we do.
Transitioning to secondary school is a big step – but it’s also the start of an exciting new journey. Our dedicated team is here to ensure that every student feels confident, valued, and ready to succeed from day one. Through high expectations, a broad curriculum, and a culture of kindness, we help our students grow into ambitious learners, proud individuals, and caring members of society.
This page is designed to support you and your family through the transition process. Here you’ll find key information, helpful resources, and messages from staff and students to help you feel at home at Burton Borough.
We can’t wait to meet you and begin this journey together.
