Branston Community Academy

Branston Junior Academy is a caring and friendly village school which welcomes children for admission in the September following their seventh birthday. Our motto is "learning is a habit for life" and we provide a learning organisation where pupils and staff are able todevelop to their full potential. The school is set in spacious grounds which includes two playgrounds, a quiet area, an adventure playground and an environmentalarea. The children have ready access to a wide rangeof exciting learning materials in theirclassrooms and there are several spaces within the school where small groups of children can work with support staff or carry out independent learning activities; including the use of the school's extensive computer facilities. The Academy has an 'open-door' policy as parents and members of the community are encouraged to participate in all aspects of school life such as helping in the classrooms, accompanying school outings, attending sports and social events. During the coming year, there will be 6 classes in the school. These will be arranged into 3 parallel Year 3/4 classes and 3 parallel Year 5/6 classes. Class numbers are expected to be below 30 throughout the school.
