Schools & Education Centres 

Where do children in the Burnham community go to secondary school?

​

Burnham is the only town in Buckinghamshire with a grammar school but no non-selective secondary school.  This is because Burnham Park Academy was closed – rather than addressing its issues.

But children who do not pass the 11+ (over 70%) are discriminated against, with a long journey to school, longer school day and reduced access to extracurricular activities. 

Most of these children go to Maidenhead schools, at a cost of around up to £1100 per year per child (from September), which parents pay.
