Good news for the School – Positive Performance Table Rating
The Department for Education have published their performance tables website which shows very good student outcomes for Brakenhale students based on last year’s examination results.
These tables show that when Brakenhale is compared to schools with a similar intake (55 were identified nationally) we are placed in the top half of that table.
We’re making communication easier, faster and more effective
We are very excited to introduce Schoolcomms a new service to send communications and produce online reporting to parents.
