Burnham Grammar School
11+ Admissions Guide 2026

Burnham Grammar School is a place where pupils genuinely embrace challenge and develop into confident, responsible learners. Teachers bring exceptional subject knowledge and real passion for their subjects, creating calm, purposeful classrooms where students thrive academically through to GCSE and A-level. The school has a distinctive "family feel" with its vertical tutoring system, where older students mentor younger ones, and sixth formers even volunteer at local primaries to support reading. Beyond academics, pupils benefit from extensive leadership opportunities, a strong careers programme, and a wealth of trips and clubs — many run by students themselves. Mental health support is thoughtfully woven throughout, with trained peer "Mind ambassadors" available alongside staff.
