Specialist Arts College As a Specialist Arts College Brampton Manor Academy provides an exceptional education in the arts for all Students. Expert teaching in Performing, Visual and Media Arts, alongside extensive provision of clubs and activities drives our great tradition of finding and developing the talent of students. The arts facilities at Brampton Manor Academy are second to none. Our 300 seat theatre, TV studio, sound recording studio, Drama and Dance studios, as well as excellent Music and Art suites all meet Professional Specifications. Our academic and vocational programmes in the arts provide excellent progression routes for students into further and higher education and into careers in the creative industries
FITNESS AND HEALTH Physical Education at the school is outstanding, within and beyond the curriculum. Excellent teaching from our specialist staff and high quality coaching of our sporting teams and individuals ensures that the department reaches the highest standards in both exam results and competitive leagues and events. Throughout all of the department’s work there is a strong emphasis on fitness and well-being and on developing lifelong habits for healthy living. In addition to the PE curriculum the school offers a wide range of sporting clubs and activities after school, ranging from football and netball to activities such as trampolining, climbing and even skateboarding! With facilities such as our state-of– the-art fitness suite, our six court sports hall, our all-weather Astroturf pitch, our playing fields and our climbing wall we really do have first-class provision to enable our students to reach the peak of their sporting potential and to adopt healthy lifestyles.
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AND WELL-BEING At Brampton Manor Academy we are keen to develop the whole individual and have a set of strategies to support both the academic and the social-emotional development of our students. We want the school to be a safe and happy place for all our students. At Brampton Manor Academy, we are developing students who are:
Collaborative Confident Creative Empathetic Expressive Resilient Independent
Pastoral system At the heart of our pastoral system is your child's Form Tutor. Each Form Tutor takes pride in establishing strong relationships with their students and their families. The Form Tutor is the first and key point of contact with home. Form Tutors are led and supported by Progress Managers who monitor the academic and personal progress of each child in their year group. We also have Year Supervisors, attached to year groups. They are not teachers and work specifically with the students to remove any barriers to learning. In addition, the Principal and the Senior Leadership Team provide support to all year groups and play a key role in providing guidance and ensuring high standards throughout the school.
Behaviour Our Ofsted report in June 2012 stated that:
“Students’ behaviour is outstanding”; “Students are respectful and considerate”;
“The academy is an extremely harmonious community”. We demand a high standard of behaviour from students at all times, including when they are not in school! Our students can feel confident to report any unpleasantness from others, in the secure knowledge that it will be dealt with quickly, effectively and sensitively by our well-trained staff.
Fitness Suite
Homework All students will receive a homework timetable which will set out clearly what they are expected to do each evening at home. We see homework as vital to developing pupils’ independent learning skills. All students are encouraged to make good use of our school library, which remains open until 5pm each evening.
Clubs We have a huge range of clubs to cater for the different interests of our students. Please encourage your child to attend at least one after school club each week.
Food provision We have a Breakfast Club from 7.30am to 8.00am every day. Breakfast is free to students eligible for free school meals and is highly subsidised for other students. Food may also be bought at both break times. We operate a cashless catering system and you can top up your child’s account over the internet, and by cash or cheque at the school. Alternatively, you can send your child in with a packed lunch.
Student Support Students who experience difficulties in Literacy or Numeracy or who are behind national expectations receive support from either the SEN department or from specialist Literacy and Numeracy Teaching Assistants. We also offer focused support from the following specially trained staff:
Learning Mentor School Counsellor Educational Welfare Officer

BRAMPTON MANOR ACADEMY SIXTH FORM
We opened our sixth form in September 2012 with a clear mission
to provide
first-class A Level teaching to prepare and enable our students to progress to the
country’s top universities, specifically Oxbridge and Russell Group universities. Our first set of A level results (Summer 2014) is stunning:
100% A*-E grades
95% A*-E grades
71% A*-B grades
57% of the entire cohort have progressed to Russell Group Universities
We believe that this is the best result of any school sixth form in East London.
the extra mile’ to be the best that they can be. This may be shown
SUCCESS THROUGH EFFORT AND DETERMINATION At Brampton Manor Academy we passionately believe that all students can be successful if they show real effort and determination to do their best. We know that this is true and can point to the success of thousands of our current and former students to prove the point. We celebrate success and applaud effort and determination whenever our students really go ‘ the extra mile’ to be the best that they can be. This may be shown in lessons, in clubs, through homework, through helping others or through any contribution to the rich life of our school. In July each year we invite those students who have shown the greatest effort and determination, as well as their parents, to our fantastic RED Awards ceremony. This is one of the most prestigious events in our school calendar and one which really speaks volumes about the ethos of this school. In addition, it explains why we are in the top 1% of schools nationally for the progress students make in their time here! We extend a very warm welcome to every child who genuinely wishes to make their best effort to achieve high standards; who genuinely commits to our high expectations of behaviour; who undertakes to do all of their homework to the best of their ability; and whose parents want to work with us to achieve success. When all these things are in place there is nothing we cannot achieve!
