Gunness and Burringham Church of England Primary School is a happy, inclusive and safe school where our children thrive. We are situated in a small rural village on the outskirts of Scunthorpe where the school is at the heart of the community. 

We aim to provide an education of the highest quality and all that we do is shaped by our vision: “Learning Together with Hope. Aspiring to be Agents of Change”. Three words from our vision – wisdom, resilience & inclusive - shape our curriculum and improve outcomes for children.

Our Christian Values of respect, hope, friendship, compassion, resilience and equality are important to us and they underpin all the work that goes on within our school encouraging our young people to become thoughtful and sensitive, as well as well-educated, members of our culturally diverse and multi-faith society.   

If you are an experienced senior leader who is dynamic, caring and passionate about making a difference to the educational and wider lives of our pupils and feel you can support the school moving forward on the next stage of its journey to excellence, we would love to hear from you.
