Knowing Every Child

We understand that positive relationships between young people and adults reinforce a culture of excellent behaviour and a commitment to learning. We structure our school so that every learner knows, and is known by, a key group of adults which include their year group director and form tutor.

Excellent Teaching & Learning

We prioritise learning and development, making sure our teachers have access to high quality career development opportunities at every stage of their career. This ensures that our approach is always informed by the latest research.

High Expectations

We believe that, with the right support, every learner can achieve their full potential. Our teachers recognise the individual potential of each of their learners and challenge and support them to be the best they can be.

Building Character

Our aim is to nurture a generation of game changers with the skills to succeed in life. Learners participate in enrichment and co-curricular activities which challenge, stretch and inspire them, and which help them to develop positive character strengths such as creativity, resilience, confidence and empathy.

Career Ready

We encourage each learner to explore their individual interests, talents and career pathways. We support every learner to find their best next step by the time they leave us at the end of year 11.

Exemplary Behaviour

We are committed to establishing a calm, orderly and energised environment in our school so that our teachers can focus on teaching and our students can focus on learning.

BE Aspirational 

At Brannel School, Aspiration is at the heart of everything we do. We believe every learner has the potential to achieve great things, and we are committed to providing the challenge, support and inspiration they need to pursue their goals, overcome challenges and fulfil their potential.

 BE Respectful

At Brannel School, Respect is at the heart of our community. We believe every learner should value themselves and others, treating everyone with kindness, dignity and understanding. We encourage our learners to appreciate different perspectives, take responsibility for their actions and contribute positively to the community around them.

 BE Resilient

At Brannel School, Resilience is about having the courage and determination to face challenges and keep moving forward. We encourage every learner to learn from setbacks, embrace challenges and develop the confidence to persevere, adapt and grow. We believe that mistakes and difficulties are not barriers to success, but opportunities to learn and become stronger.
