Pupils benefit enormously from their time at Bramfield House. They are guided and supported to get back on track, many having had a tough time in the past. For many pupils, this is the first time they have felt settled. Pupils have found a school where they are happy, can be themselves and succeed. The social buzz at breakfast each morning creates a relaxed atmosphere to ready pupils for the day ahead. Warm and respectful relationships shine through. Adults expect pupils to behave well and try hard in lessons. Because pupils feel respected and valued by adults, they step up to these expectations. Many gain qualifications which set them up well for when they leave the school at the end of Year 11. Equally important are traits such as ‘grit’, ‘spark’ and ‘adventure’ that help pupils navigate the world. Whether tending the sheep in the farm area, learning circus skills or setting up a small business, pupils are expertly guided to build their resilience and interpersonal skills. Through the ‘Bramfield Boy’ programme, pupils benefit greatly, developing into well rounded young men as they move through the school. If things do go wrong, and pupils become dysregulated, staff are highly skilled to help pupils put things right.
