“This is an outstanding school”
B R AM PT O N M ANO R A C ADE M Y
Our school motto ‘success through effort & determination’
underpins all that we do. We treat each child as an individual
and provide personalised support, carefully tailored to their
needs. It comes as no surprise that students of all abilities
and from all socio-cultural backgrounds excel here at
Brampton Manor Academy. Our staff are well qualified and
work in strong partnership with our parents to provide
consistently good support for the students. Our mission is
simple : to ensure that all our children succeed to the best of
their ability.
Due to our success Brampton Manor Academy is already the
most oversubscribed school in Newham and continues to go
from strength to strength. Long may that continue.

you have any questions or want further information about our
vision and plans for the future.
Dr D. Olukoshi
Principal
As Principal of Brampton Manor Academy, I am delighted to
present to you our 2014 Prospectus and to share with you
some information about our school. We are a dynamic and
successful 11-18 school serving the Newham community. We
have students of all abilities and from a wide variety of
backgrounds, all of whom contribute to the richness and
diversity of our school population.
We are a very successful school because we focus very
strongly on what really matters:— the quality of teaching and
learning. As a result, our students make outstanding progress.
In 2012, Ofsted concluded that our overall effectiveness is
outstanding because:
Student achievement is outstanding
Quality of teaching is outstanding
Student behaviour is outstanding
Quality of leadership is outstanding
Students of all ages and abilities make outstanding progress
because of the rich curriculum we offer, along with the
excellent care, guidance and support we provide. Our
curriculum consists of a rich blend of academic and vocational
qualifications, all supported by fantastic learning resources
including a state-of-the-art theatre, TV and recording studios,
outstanding sports and fitness facilities, as well as modern,
generously equipped classrooms, workshops and laboratories.
All areas are served by excellent ICT facilities.
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
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.

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.
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
Special Needs Coordinator
In addition we have specially trained senior students who
provide a valuable service to other students as Learning
Coaches and Prefects.

BRAMPTON MANOR ACADEMY SIXTH FORM
BRAMPTON MANOR ACADEMY
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.
Please see the curriculum insert for a full description of the courses we offer at KS3 and KS4.
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!
