Brayton Academy

Brayton Academy opened in September 2016 and serves the communities of Brayton, Selby Town and the surrounding villages. The Academy is continuing to grow and become the school of choice in the area and is part of the Rodillian Multi Academy Trust.

We are delighted to announce that we were rated as 'Outstanding' by Ofsted in 2019, and again in November 2024.

Brayton Academy holds the traditional values of good discipline and respect. With this in mind we expect our students to excel in their day-to-day studies as well as their exams.

These expectations are robustly and rigorously upheld through our Positive Discipline system, which creates a calm, purposeful and harmonious environment where staff and students have positive relationships.

Moreover, students have a safe learning environment where they can thrive, and staff can focus on the craft of teaching and their own professional development.

We uphold the principles of teacher freedom, and we want to promote innovative practice within the classroom.

Investment in the fabric of the building is continuing to take place. In the summer of 2021, over £200,000 was invested in new ICT facilities, a £360,000 refurbishment of our Science Labs was completed in the summer of 2023, and extensive refurbishment of student toilet facilities has just concluded. 

We have exceptionally high expectations of all of our students and staff but with that comes a high level of support and encouragement. If you are interested in pursuing your career and making a difference to young people’s lives in an excellent, innovative and contemporary school please don’t hesitate to contact us for further information.
