Three quarters of our students progressed to Russell Group universities – the highest of any provider in Newham and one of the highest Russell Group progression rates in the country.

In their last visit they confirmed that: • “Students make outstanding progress” • “Teaching is outstanding because teachers have extremely high expectations” • “Students are respectful and considerate” • “Students’ behaviour is outstanding” • “There is an amazingly effective vision” In 2018 our A Level results will continue to cement our position as one of the highest achieving academic Sixth Forms in the United Kingdom. This is due to the commitment and dedication of our students and our staff, who are second to none. Most of our teachers are themselves top graduates of the elite Russell Group of universities to which our students aspire, and together they form a highly qualified and experienced team of professionals who are experts in their fields. None of the success we continue to enjoy has happened by accident. It’s all about having the right people, the right resources and the right level of challenge and support. You now have the opportunity to join in that success. Good Luck.

“I can honestly say that I loved the time I spent at Brampton
Manor. The sixth form introduced a community whereby students and teachers worked alongside one another to reach a unified goal; the teachers excelled in all aspects of their various disciplines and were always around whenever needed. The surrounding of like-minded and equally eager peers established an environment that was conducive for learning, stimulated growth and challenged you to achieve your academic potential. At every step of the way, it excited as well as it did incite.� Joseph Adikwu
