Though the summer term is not long finished we are already getting excited about the return of our boarding community in August 2020. We are closely monitoring the situation and currently the low incidence rate of COVID-19 in the South East of England (where Burgess Hill Girls is located) leads us to be hopeful of a full return of all pupils for the start of the 2020 – 2021 school year.

Hiraeth is the title of a new film by our very own Lucy Collins. It looks at how the COVID-19 lockdown has affected us all.

The Black Lives Matter campaign has given us all much to think about, both on a personal level and an educational level. It has made us question if we are doing everything we can to tackle racism within our community, not just in terms of day to day life but also in our educational programmes which have a vital role in shaping the views of our pupils, whilst they are at the school but also in their future lives as they take their place in society.

As the summer holiday is approaching we thought it was a good time to make public recent changes to our school opening as well as reveal our intentions for September.

We hope you have all managed to make a great start to the summer term. It is very different we know, and challenging too, but we are certain you will all benefit from this unique experience.
For this special lockdown period we have created a new weekly challenge, the Head’s Challenge.

At Burgess Hill Girls we always try to look on the bright side of life. One of the positive things to have come out of the global COVID-19 crises is it has given us the opportunity to learn more about each other and our different cultures.

As you might expect, due to COVID-19, the 2020 summer term has started a bit differently at Burgess Hill Girls. We are very proud of the way all our pupils have approached the new programme of e-learning, especially our boarders, logging in to Google Classroom or Edmodo from all over the world.

Following the Government’s decision to close all schools as of Friday 20th March, we are immensely proud to have managed to get to this stage without any confirmed cases of COVID-19. Now the announcement has been made, there is much for us to plan and implement over the coming weeks to ensure your children continue to receive their education.

The last few months have been a challenging time for our boarding community. The majority have not been able to return to their families since Christmas and there is still some uncertainty of how they will get home in the Easter holidays and whether they will be able to return to Burgess Hill Girls afterwards. We could not be prouder with how they have all coped with these uncertainties. As you would expect we have been trying to do as much as possible to support the community and take their minds off things.
