A REVIEW OF Burrows House 2024-2025
Welcome to Burrows House. This year, Burrows House has truly lived up to its motto: "We never stop believing, because if you believe, you can achieve." Across every year group, we’ve seen determination, kindness, leadership, and a powerful sense of community shine through.
Our newest members in 7 Burrows, together with their tutor Mr Mudd, have burst onto the scene with energy and enthusiasm—taking part in everything from House Drama to caring for the school chickens. They've already shown what it means to be part of the Burrows family.
8 Burrows with Mr Owen have continued their journey with heart and determination, excelling in inter-house competitions like netball and tennis, and lighting up the stage in dance and drama. Their unity and support for each other, especially in welcoming new members, show just how strong this group has become.
In 9 Burrows together with Mr Hunter, it’s been another year of growth and achievement, both in school and beyond. With stand-out contributions in the arts, sports, and wildlife care (including our famous fish and bird care team), this group has shown how diverse talents make Burrows stronger.
10 Burrows with Mr Bravo impressed everyone with their community spirit—raising nearly £300 for charity, helping younger students, and excelling in work experience placements. Their initiative, generosity, and leadership have made a lasting impact across the school. We’re also thrilled to announce that new Burrows leaders have been elected from 10 Burrows—congratulations to Bella Wright, Lily Robinson, George Nicholson, Daisy Dearing, Ben Thompson and Bonnie Brewster, who have each been awarded House colours in recognition of their outstanding academic effort, extra-curricular activities, service to the school, house and community, attitude and conduct, leadership and initiative.
Finally, 11 Burrows with Mr Blewitt have been a model of maturity, warmth, and support. From peer mentoring to volunteering and inter-house events, they’ve truly embodied “life in all its fullness.” As they move on, they leave behind a legacy of compassion, joy and excellence.
We are proud of every single member of Burrows House. Together, we’ve faced challenges, celebrated victories, and grown stronger—as individuals and as a family. Here's to another unforgettable year of believing and achieving.
A final message from Mrs Bagdoniene, Head of Burrows House:
“I am incredibly grateful to Burrows House students, form tutors, and parents for this fulfilling experience and for the opportunity to lead this wonderful House. I feel truly blessed for another year with the Burrows family. May God bless you, Burrows House.”
