About us
The Brunts Academy is a popular and oversubscribed high-achieving secondary school with a great tradition of success. We believe that an outstanding education develops our students academically, socially and morally, giving them the knowledge and skills to be successful at school and in life. We also feel it is important for our young people to develop outside of the classroom, and we offer a wide range of enrichment and extra-curricular opportunities to help prepare our students for the next stage of their education, training or employment.
As a ‘Values’-driven academy, our staff and students aspire to display the following values in all they do:
- Ambition – Fulfil your potential
- Integrity – Be honest and trustworthy
- Inclusivity – Respect for everyone
- Resilience – Never give up
- Endeavour – Always work hard
We believe that secondary education represents a major stage in the life of each young person, and so we aim to work together with parents, carers, trustees, agencies and the local community to support our young people, enabling them to develop and grow within this community and in building together a real sense of identity within The Brunts Academy.
We demand excellence of ourselves and our community so that we can best serve our students and have an ambitious future. We are proud of the success our students achieve year on year, and through our constant focus on teaching and learning, we see our students develop into lifelong learners whilst enjoying their time with us.
