British Values
At John Burns Primary School, we are passionate about providing our children with the knowledge, skills and values needed to live successfully in Modern Britain.
With this in mind, we teach a broad, creative and varied curriculum and embed our school values of: try your best, be kind, take responsibility, show respect, co-operate and be positive within this.
