5 Years. 30 Experiences. One Burnage Journey!

This week we have been excited to launch The Burnage Journey, a brand-new initiative designed to help every boy make the most of his time here with us.

Throughout their five years, pupils will be challenged to complete at least 30 experiences, helping them develop confidence, independence, resilience and skills for life beyond the classroom.

Each year has a different focus:
🏫 Year 7 – Belong: Getting involved, making connections and finding their place.
🌍 Year 8 – Explore: Discovering new interests, places and experiences.
🤝 Year 9 – Lead: Taking responsibility, supporting others and making a difference.
🚀 Year 10 – Aspire: Exploring future opportunities and preparing for life beyond school.
🌟 Year 11 – Leave a Legacy: Giving something back and making a lasting contribution.

We believe that our exceptional exam results are the result of strong engagement, and before that comes real connection.

The Burnage Journey will support all boys in feeling as though they truly belong here and leave with the skills to help them thrive long after they leave.

🌳 Sometimes the most important learning happens outside the classroom.

For generations, Burnage pupils have visited our residential centre at Buxworth in the Peak District, giving young people the chance to experience the outdoors, build independence and make memories with friends away from everyday school life.

Buxworth is part of a much bigger ambition: giving Burnage pupils a range of experiences that stay with them long after they leave.

Hear more about our Outdoor Education on Open Evening, this Thursday 4-7pm.

🎻 Music has become a major part of life at Burnage.

Through our partnership with MiSST - Music in Secondary Schools Trust pupils have the opportunity to learn an orchestral instrument, play together and perform beyond the school gates - including a free instrument for all KS3 pupils.

Burnage pupils have performed in Manchester, London and beyond, alongside concerts, playdays and performances throughout the year.

Come and hear us play at Open Evening on Thursday 8 October.

The performances showcased a wide range of talent, including pianists, singers, violinists, and original drama pieces written and performed by our students.
Well done to all our performers 👏
