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.
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!
Branston’s newest primary school is now officially open! On Friday 31st January, Branston Locks Primary and Nursery School was officially opened by Director General of Regions Group for the Department for Education, John Edwards.
Guests enjoyed a tour of the school, refreshments and a fantastic musical performance from pupils – who later
enjoyed balloons and refreshments with their parents and staff at the end of the school day.
We’ve achieved our Bronze Rights Respecting Schools Award from UNICEF! This shows that we are committed to the rights of the child, as agreed by the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child.
Lyra is our new school dog. She is a cockapoo, who was born in October 2024; her mum is a cocker spaniel called Evie and her dad is a poodle called Reggie.
