Throughout November, The Burgess Hill Academy is proud to be supporting Burgess Hill Town Council's Christmas Hamper Appeal.

Donations of food items will help create Christmas hampers for local families experiencing significant financial hardship, ensuring they receive some extra support over the festive season.

Please see the suggested donation items for each year group. If your child is able to contribute, please ask them to bring their donation to their form tutor by Thursday 26 November.

Every donation, no matter how small, can make a real difference to a family in our community. 🎁

An Inspiring Afternoon at Glyndebourne Opera House.

At the end of last term, a group of our Year 11 Music and Drama students enjoyed an unforgettable visit to the spectacular Glyndebourne Opera House to watch Rossini’s The Barber of Seville.

The performance was full of energy, humour and outstanding musical talent. Students were particularly amazed by the imaginative staging, including the incredible flying pianos, while the orchestra brought the score to life with a vibrant and captivating performance.

Experiencing world-class live opera in such a renowned venue was a fantastic opportunity for our students, helping to deepen their appreciation of the performing arts and showcasing the magic of live music and theatre.

A truly memorable afternoon and an experience our students will not forget! 🎶🎭
