It is our pleasure to welcome you to our vibrant, dynamic, and fun school. Our aim at Brampton Primary Academy is to provide all pupils with learning experiences that allow them to be their very best. Your child deserves the very best education and we seek to provide this in many ways. We want to see each child flourish, thrive, and be happy, supported by strong and nurturing relationships in an environment where safety and well-being are paramount. We work hard to ensure that the quality of our teaching is constantly improving so that the learning that takes place leads to high attainment and progress for all.
we aim to develop an inclusive environment with limitless opportunities that will empower and challenge pupils so that they can strive to reach their best. This will motivate pupils to have a thirst for learning and develop their aspirations for the future.
We are committed to the inclusion of all children. All children, including those with specific learning difficulties, those with physical disabilities, the ablest, and children with English as an additional language are nurtured through a range of strategies, interventions, and support.
We want our children to have a variety of experiences and we are committed to following the requirements of the National Curriculum. Part of this is taught through a project-based curriculum through our use of the scheme Cornerstones - a broad and balanced, knowledge and skills-based curriculum with a creative edge. Comprising of over 80 themed projects and 1000s of lesson ideas mapped to the National Curriculum.
Literacy is delivered through the Letters and Sounds and Read Write Inc phonics scheme, Cornerstones, and Read and Respond. Children’s learning is frequently based upon carefully selected, high-quality books and combined with creative teaching approaches, involving, for example, art and drama to heighten the experience of reading. This approach aims to engage and motivate children in their literacy learning, broaden their vocabulary, and enable a deeper understanding of texts also it provides a stimulating, meaningful context for writing. A quality text is used as a basis for learning over several weeks. Children explore and discuss the text through creative activities. They also write in a range of genres as part of the unit.
For the teaching of mathematics, we use a range of resources to supplement our scheme of work. We dedicate a significant amount of time to developing key number concepts each year. This ensures students build their fluency as number sense will affect their success in other areas of mathematics. Building on their knowledge and understanding of numbers children are challenged to develop their reasoning and problem-solving skills.
All aspects of our curriculum are supported by a program of educational visits/school trips and extra-curricular events (a mixture of events held at school, in London, and across the country). Parents are advised of the arrangements for these events in advance.
