About
Our School
Burton Morewood C of E Primary Academy & Nursery is situated in the village of Burton in Kendal, serving the village and the local area. As a school we follow a Christian ethos and have the Christian Values of ‘Compassion, Friendship, Perseverance and Trust’ to help guide us in all that we do.
Each day children participate in whole school or class acts of worship. We are lucky to have a strong link with our local church, St. James's, and welcome the minister and/or the ‘Open the Book’ Team each week to share in our whole school Wednesday Worship.
Children are taught in single age year groups and, from September 2021, we follow the Cornerstones Curriculum.
Here at Burton Morewood we provide a broad and balanced curriculum based around the Cornerstones Curriculum, a nationally recognised approach for delivering outstanding learning opportunities for children.

Nursery
Our purpose built nursery is located on the school premises adjoining our reception class. The children are taught by Miss Thomas and supported by Miss Boushear and Mrs Hickey-Phethean. Our nursery is well resourced and provides a wide variety of free flow activities to enhance individual learning. Nursery benefits from a large outdoor area and children can explore the nature and activities come rain or shine!
The children take part in all aspects of school life, this includes, PE, Music, Collective Worship, sports day and much more. Transitions to Reception are planned carefully and seamlessly so that children feel secure and excited for their move to their next class.
We look forward to meeting you. Please do get in touch if you have any questions.
