Welcome to Canon Burrows environmental assembly. We would especially like to welcome our very special guest Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall, Vice Lord-Lieutenant, the Civic Mayor and Mayoress of Tameside and all honoured guests. 

At Canon Burrows we are dedicated to sustaining the big planet on which we live.

We know that what we do makes a difference both now and in the future. The question we must ask ourselves is what we want this future to be – a positive difference or a negative difference.

For more than twenty-five years, children, staff and friends of the school have made a positive difference to our school community, local community and global community. Look at some of the positive actions we have taken here at Canon Burrows.
