Brampton School

Our school, "Brampton Primary", is located in the borough of Newham. Brampton Primary is a large inner-city school serving a culturally and socially diverse community. Almost 80% of the pupils are from minority ethnic groups, the largest of which are the pupils of Bangladeshi, Pakistani or Black African heritage. Over 60% of pupils have English as a second language. This proportion is about four times the national average and is steadily increasing because of new arrivals from Eastern European countries, who currently make up about 7% of the roll. Levels of pupils' mobility are high. The school has the Active mark accreditation for its commitment to promoting physical exercise and school sport, and has Healthy School status. As part of the School Travel Plan, the school works in partnership with the borough to encourage the children to walk to school. As a result, the majority of our children do walk to school and those that do not usually don’t because of distances rather than convenience.
