At Burkevale, we are working hard to ensure that all our students are supported, feel safe and have a sense of belonging. We are using Mental Health Strategy and this year’s action plan to focus on positive mental health for everyone in the school community. We have been providing opportunities for staff and students to learn more about positive mental health and well-being.
November 2025 Newsletter
“The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month attained a special significance in the post-war years. The moment when hostilities ceased on the Western Front became universally associated with the remembrance of those who had died in the war. This first modern world conflict had brought about the mobilization of over 70 million people and left between nine million and 13 million dead, perhaps as many as one-third of them with no known grave. The allied nations chose this day and time for the commemoration of their dead soldiers.” Burkevale will honour our veterans on Remembrance Day at the school with thoughtful activities and a moment of silence following our recess. https://nationaltoday.com/remembrance-day/
