Welcome to Sir William Burrough

We are an independent state-funded Academy serving the local communities of Tower Hamlets.


We look forward to welcoming you and your child to our successful and caring school. This website will tell you how our school is organised and introduces you to our curriculum and daily routine. We are, of course, happy to answer any further questions you may have.

We see parents as partners in the education of their children, and greatly value their contribution to school life. Children thrive when they feel happy, safe, and respected, and when they are set challenging and stimulating work.

Please make an appointment, and come and see for yourself. We will be delighted to show you around our school.

Kind regards, Avril Newman, Headteacher
