Creating Excellence Together

Welcome to Acland Burghley

Acland Burghley School provides a rich and stimulating education for boys and girls aged 11 to 19. We believe passionately in the potential of each young person, and work together with families to ensure that every student succeeds.

High quality learning is at the heart of our school. We prioritise high academic standards, supporting students of all abilities to excel in English, Maths and Science, and across a broad curriculum.

We encourage our learners to be independent thinkers with a broad world view. Our emphasis on creativity is about developing the thinkers and innovators of the future. Our curriculum offers a wide variety of opportunities for students to participate in the arts and sport, and to play a part in community life.

We are a member of the highly successful LaSWAP sixth form consortium, together with three other local schools. The combined strengths of all four schools offers our sixth form students the widest range of opportunities, expertise and resources. Every student is given information, advice and guidance to find an ambitious and successful pathway to the future. Above all, we are a friendly, happy school.

We welcome applications to join us from families wishing to work in strong partnership with us. We look forward to meeting you soon.

Tube strikes this week

There will be industrial action impacting the whole tube network on Tuesday 21 and Wednesday 22, then Thursday 23 and Friday 24 April of this week, from separate unions.

Many staff travel by tube, and will be affected. This applies to some students too.

As a result, we will open one hour later than usual on Wednesday 22 April and Friday 24 April only, to allow staff and students who usually use the tube to make their journey by alternative routes.

There are some public exams for Y11 (Spanish and French speaking exams) this week. These will begin at the scheduled time.

KS5 lesson will go ahead at the normal time to ensure consistency across LaSWAP.

Under these arrangements, students in Y7-11 are expected in school on Wednesday and Friday by 9.35am. They will attend registration or assembly at 9.40am, and then proceed to period 2.

The library will be supervised from 8am.

This arrangement will be cancelled in the event that the strikes are called off.

As always, please call or email the school in the event of any queries: https://www.aclandburghley.camden.sch.uk/Contact/.
