Branston Locks Primary and Nursery School is a new Free School in the Branston area of Burton-Upon-Trent. Our vision is that every child is ‘Happy, Curious and Learning’ and everything we do in school is designed to help our children and our wider school community to achieve this.
As an inspiring, nurturing and inclusive place, in which to grow and learn, we endeavour to ensure that every child is able to achieve their potential and that their curiosity is developed to enable them to become lifelong learners. We prepare them for the wider world and work with you, their families and friends, to develop kind, caring, responsible citizens of the future.
Branston Locks Primary and Nursery School promises to be at the heart of our evolving community, and we are eager to ensure our school family flourishes. We are proud to be part of John Taylor MAT, which allows us to work with many schools across Staffordshire and Derbyshire as we strive to ensure that every child thrives and feels successful.
From uniform and admissions policies, to reporting an absence and keeping up-to-date on the school’s latest newsletters – our Parent Hub provides parents with important school details, processes, and need-to-know information.
Is your child due to start Reception in September 2026? Come and join us at our open day. We have three sessions for you to choose from: 9.30am, 1.30pm or 5pm. Call the office on 01283 242875 to book your place. We can’t wait to meet you!
We celebrated VE Day 80 in style at Branston Locks, with a slap up fish ‘n’ chip dinner, followed by delicious cake, decorated with the Union Jack flag. We used a range of historical sources and artefacts to find out more about WWII as well.
We welcomed Spud Man into school on Wednesday 7th May. He brought us some lovely potatoes, growing bags and compost so we can grow our own spuds! Will one of us become Spud Kid?
We welcomed mums, grandmas, aunties, carers and all those who fulfil the role of a mother into school for a delicious afternoon tea style lunch. It was such a lovely event, there were huge smiles all round and the cakes were delicious!
