Brampton Primary Academy

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.

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, its 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 were recently appointed as headteacher and deputy having already been working at the school.
