Brannel School is an inclusive school community in which everyone is valued and where difference is celebrated. All young people have an unequivocal right to our curriculum as well as our personal development programme, taught by experts in their chosen field.
Through our culture curriculum and our enrichment opportunities, we will challenge our young people to strive for the highest standards so that they can take these experiences through to the next steps in their young lives.
A five-year journey with us means that young people will experience both challenges and opportunities that life brings with a culture of connection and care, being pushed to thrive academically, socially and emotionally.
We offer progress routes across all key stages of learning to ensure that our young people are ready for their next steps, in whatever form that takes; apprenticeships, A levels, vocational qualifications, and future employment.
