The school is built in a ring shape around a central courtyard. In addition to the classrooms there is an ICT suite, a library area and a toilet block. The main hall is used for PE, music and drama as well as for Collective Worship and as a dining area.

St Andrew's School, in Burnham on-Sea, was established in 1856 and is a co-educational day school for pupils aged from seven to eleven. It is a Voluntary Controlled Church of England school, which means that the Church is represented on the Governing Body. We have a close relationship with the parish church of Burnham, which is also dedicated to St Andrew.
The original St Andrew's School occupied a site at the top of College Street on the sea front. The school moved to its present site in 1973 and is now housed in a modern semi-open plan building standing in its own grounds between Dunstan Road and Love Lane

The school playground

The school grounds are extensive, with a large field, marked for football, athletics and rounders in season. There are two playgrounds with netball courts and other markings on them.

Off the hall there is a therapy suite including a full access toilet, and there are also storage areas for dining room furniture and PE apparatus. Much of the school has been very recently renovated and facilities as a result have significantly improved at the school over the last couple of years. Further developments are scheduled for 2008, when an additional classroom will be constructed, along with other improvements..

 St Andrews CE VC Junior School Badge Playtimes are operated on a zonal basis, with areas designated for activities, both active and quiet. The School Association has provided a great deal of equipment for these zones, which have been organised by the School Council. In one corner of the field there is a hedged Conservation Area and beyond that there is a locked cycle compound.
St Andrews CE VC Junior School Field Access to the site at the beginning and end of the school day is by the pupil entrance in Love Lane or by the main entrance in Dunstan Road. Please note that, for security reasons, the Love Lane gate is kept locked during the day.
