A Community Where Students Thrive
At The Burgess Hill Academy, we believe that school should give every student the knowledge, experiences and opportunities they need to thrive. We want our students to leave us as confident, capable young people with excellent outcomes and a wide range of choices open to them for the future.

What a fantastic couple of days our Year 8 and 9 students had in France!
After a very early 4am start, Day 1 was packed with experiences, including practising French to order baguettes at a traditional bakery, exploring the old town of Boulogne, visiting the cathedral and enjoying a well-earned ice cream!
Students then explored the incredible Nausicaá aquarium, where the manta ray was a particular highlight, before finishing the day with a trip to the beach.
Day 2 brought even more new experiences, with a visit to a French farmers' market, learning how chocolate is made (with some tasting, of course!) and a trip to a snail farm. Some of our students were even brave enough to try traditional French snails! 🐌
A brilliant opportunity to experience French language and culture first-hand. Très bien! 👏
“The trip was an amazing opportunity to experience France, and I hope to go back again in the future.” James, Year 9 ...

The focus of this week's assemblies is the benefits of volunteering! So many life skills learnt by students when they support their local community, whether that's in or out of school. We are delighted to welcome Liz, from The Burgess Hill Pantry who spoke about the wonderful work they do. We are asking students, if they are able, to bring a donation of food or toiletries into school over the next two weeks to support the work that The Pantry do. Students were also reminded about The Lions Club Young Leader in Service Award which recognises volunteers in the community. #TBHACareers #Volunteering ...

Delighted to start the new academic year by welcoming Rhian Cleverly representing the @lovelocaljobsfoundation to give a Dare to Dream presentation to our Year 8 cohort. With key themes of Self Belief, Resilience and Dreaming Big, the assembly was a great way to start Year 8 and encourage students to be excited about the possibilities for their futures and believe in themselves! #tbhacareers #daretodream #employabilityskills ...
