Conway Centres – Burwardsley

Housed in the old primary school, Burwardsley offers opportunities unique to its location. It is also situated on the Sandstone Trail.

Burwardsley has its own replica Iron Age Roundhouse, enabling pupils to learn about the culture, art, and farming from this period. Pupils can also gain experience of wattle and daub construction, making clay pots, string making, and can even do an archaeological dig.

Why Schools Love Burwardsley:

• With its own replica Iron Age Roundhouse, children can learn either about the Stone Age or Iron Age, all whilst having fun.
• As well as having plenty of on-site activities, children can enjoy activities off site in the stunning Cheshire countryside.
• With indoor facilities, we can add immersive arts activities tailored to your programme, which boosts creativity.

With over 48 years’ experience in delivering activities to young people, our problem-solving approach and reflective style of teaching allows learners to become creative thinkers, reflective learners, and team players.

We are dedicated, experienced, and enthusiastic education professionals who have the ability to differentiate, plan bespoke programmes, and deliver high quality teaching.
