We know we’re ‘Outstanding’ but find out more here about what we do at Bramhope that makes us different from other Primary Schools. 

At Bramhope we hope that every child will: ‘Belong. Be Your Best. Be Bramhope’.

Bramhope is an exceptional, oversubscribed school with a reputation for providing an all round education. We currently have 410 children and are a two form entry school. We accept 60 Reception aged children each year from a range of settings. We also have school places in other year groups from time to time.  

Bramhope is a friendly, welcoming school and an important part of the village. Our experienced, enthusiastic staff enjoy working as a team in order to support and challenge each other. We pride ourselves on how well our staff know each child as an individual and want every child to feel that they belong to our school. Each child is placed in one of four Houses and this identity is strengthened through House competitions and our House trophies. We are fortunate to have a culture where parents' seek to be involved in their children's learning and an active PTA which organises regular events for children and parents, and fund raises for whole school projects. 

Children enjoy coming to Bramhope school and demonstrate a love of learning. They are confident and aspire to do well. We expect all our children to work hard and our Y6 SATs results place us amongst the highest attaining schools within the country. We have an exciting curriculum and place a particular emphasis on the importance of reading. We seek to ensure that children have a solid understanding of the core subjects of English and Maths but also believe in offering a balanced curriculum; for example art, music Spanish and sport are specialist taught throughout the school. All staff place an emphasis on achievement through effort. 

Bramhope has fantastic playing fields, a large wildlife garden and a private nursery on site. We believe it is important that all our children have a variety of opportunities throughout their primary education and seek to offer a full range of extra curricular sporting activities including netball, football, rugby, cricket and athletics. We also offer individual and group music lessons and have a school choir and a school orchestra. Chess club, gardening club, French and drumming are amongst the other clubs offered. 

Bramhope has a history of working in partnership with local schools and is part of a 'Family of schools' network which meets and works together throughout the year. We are also part of the Collaborative Learning Trust.

As well as being a founding member of The Collaborative Learning Trust, our school is a member of Red Kite Alliance.
