Brampton Primary Academy

My son is currently in year one and is incredibly happy at Brampton. The School has a lovely community. The Teachers we’ve had so far have been professional, passionate and a credit to the profession.

The School is well maintained, the grounds are big and there’s plenty of space for the children to play.

Brampton has breakfast and after School clubs. In addition, independent companies hold classes after School such as ballet and martial arts. My son attended the martial arts class and loved it! I highly recommend Brampton and was a pupil myself. I wouldn’t send my children any where else!

My daughters are both at Brampton (reception and year 4 currently) and I think it is a wonderful school. There were some issues back in 2016 when my eldest started but all of these have been remedied by the new fantastic management team and great staff. Great facilities, high standard of teaching (helping students in any areas they struggle but also pushing the really bright kids to achieve more), lovely teachers and an outstanding PTA who provide a lovely array of out of school activities for the kids. Would absolutely recommend!

My children are currently in yr 4 and yr 6. They are incredibly happy and Brampton has been such a positive environment for them to be in. All of the teachers and teaching staff in the school genuinely care about their students and work immensely hard to give them the best education. The leadership team are amazing , the children love them and so do the parents. They make the school welcoming, efficient and motivated. This school is a real community, everyone seems happy and friendly.

My children are currently in Year 3 and reception. This is a fantastic school, amazingly supportive staff and brilliant leadership. The introduction read write inc reading scheme has had a big impact in the last few years. My children enjoy the school dinners, love their teachers and support staff and are supported well to make progress in their learning. Something important to me is how the reception children transition. This is not a long and drawn out process and they are gradually moved to full time hours over the week and it works well. The school drop of and collection in the current ‘Covid’ times is great and we all feel safe, it’s well organised. Our PTA are wonderful parents who have provided so many opportunities for our children through fundraising that we have all enjoyed. My children love breakfast and after sch club which is great because it is on site and run by the school- snacks and childcare. They have lots of fun. Finally the school has a parent council where parents from all classes get to feed back and issues and concerns then a representative from each class meets with the head teacher to work through them and decide how to move the school on together. The parents were also delighted when Miss Winter Nolan and Miss Wellington we’re recently appointed as headteacher and deputy having already been working at the school.

We cannot praise Brampton enough. All of the staff are incredibly enthusiastic and dedicated to their jobs, the school has a real community feel, and the parents association is fantastic. The school overcame the challenges of lockdown and home educating incredibly quickly, delivering effective learning remotely far sooner than other schools we know of. Brampton has invested in an impressive phonics program, Read Write Inc, and the use of ClassDojo and Microsoft Teams makes communication with the school incredibly easy. We truly believe that our daughter (yr 2) has had the best start to her academic life at BPA and are thrilled that our son has now started reception there too.

I have children in year 3 and 5. I would highly recommend Brampton. The teachers are caring and take pride in teaching the kids. During lockdown everyone pulled together very quickly to ensure continued learning for the children and were extremely supportive and accessible. Breakfast club staff are also fantastic.

My daughter is in Year 3 and the school is great. Read write inc phonics scheme which they follow is great compare to the old Jolly phonics . By end of Year 1 my daughter was in free reading level already with the help of that scheme . During the covid times home learning materials was wonderful and well supported . We didn't feel like we were left out of the education . School has also managed very well with regards to the re opening with staggered drop and pick up time to ensure the social distancing. Most able children's are challenged well by mixing them with higher year groups while learning phonics . School has its own after school and breakfast club which is very reliable . The teachers are great and pupils are well taught. Always open to comments and suggestions from parents. I would definitely recommend brampton to other parents.

We like Brampton school ...  Teachers are
