The purpose of work undertaken by Branston Junior Aacdemy, is to enable the children to achieve their full potential as learners and as individuals. This is achieved through the educational activities that are planned and organised, and the opportunities that are provided to encourage children's personal development. Children are encouraged to take increasing responsibility for their behaviour and learning, to make judgements and use their initiative.
It is for the above reasons, that we use 5 key values to underpin everything we do at Branston Juniors - Respect, Resilience, Reflection, Relationships and Responsibility. You can find out more information about this, on the webpage entitled 'Behaviour'.
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.
