Our vision is summed up in the 3A's - Attend, Aspire and Achieve - which is our school motto. 

Our motto is brought to life in school in the following ways:-

Attend

• We support every child's right to an education and have high expectations of attendance.

• You have to 'be in it to win it'. To get the most out of our school offer, pupils need to be in school on time every day.

• We believe good attendance at school sets children on the right path for success in later life.

• We have high expectations of behaviour, underpinned by an ethos of celebration, to create a happy and safe environment children want to come to.

• Our enriching curriculum supports our expectations of attendance through not wanting to miss out.

• Our environment is a priority so children feel a sense of belonging and care at Burford.

• Good attendance at Burford is more than just turning up. We focus on engagement and strong relationships so children are happy and engaged learners.

Aspire

• We believe there are no limits to what our children can achieve. However we also acknowledge that this ambition and aspiration needs fostering for many pupils.

• We support children  to aspire to be the best that they can, both personally and academically.

• Through the curriculum and enrichment opportunities, we open eyes and push boundaries beyond pupils' personal experiences.

• We offer a broad and balanced curriculum that enables children to develop ambition and staff to spot talent.

• We ensure representation is a focus with the curriculum so all children see themselves within it.

• We have high expectations.

Achieve

• As a staff, we work tirelessly to ensure there are always high standards of teaching and learning in all classrooms.

• We deliver a high quality, inspiring curriculum which supports children in achieving their potential.

• Where children need extra support, we make adaptations to provision.

• We set group and individual targets that are realistic yet ambitious for our pupils.

• Every second seconds at Burford. We recognise the importance of our job in ensuring our pupils are ready for their next stage in education and life.
