Bristol Brunel Academy

At BBA we all make exceptional things happen today, tomorrow and in the years to come. "Welcome to Bristol Brunel Academy.

I am incredibly proud to lead an Academy full of such talented and hardworking students. We fully understand the responsibility we have for each child and that we repay the trust shown by parents/carers by providing every child with an outstanding education. All of the Academy staff and leadership team work tirelessly to
create the best possible learning environment for our students. We strive fo

r every child to achieve outcomes which enable them to take their next steps for their future lives. We are responsible for the development of the whole child; we nurture and grow our young people to become outstanding students and citizens of the future. These positive habits underpin the work we do with students and promote the values of the Academy enshrined in The Brunel Way. Teaching and learning is our core business and as such we focus much of our energy around maintaining and improving standards across the Academy. Teaching unlocks potential and enables all students to make progress and achieve outstanding
outcomes. Teaching staff at Bristol Brunel are passionate about education and go above and beyond in every aspect of their work. Visitors comment upon the ethos and atmosphere of the Academy, we have clear boundaries and rules that enable a calm and purposeful atmosphere. Students behave well and feel safe in an inspirational learning environment. Bristol Brunel is an important part of the Cabot Learning Federation, which is transforming the quality of education in this area of Bristol and beyond. The depth of support that this provides and the level of resources available to the Academy is accelerating improvement and innovation. From the outstanding teaching and support staff to the excellent leadership team and our inspirational students we all share a deep commitment to making Bristol Brunel the centre of excellence that your child deserves. Making your decision about which secondary school to send your child
to is difficult. Being over subscribed for the past 8 years shows our reputation in the local community is strong and means that parents are making Bristol Brunel their school of choice. In addition to this we were judged ‘Good’ by Ofsted in 2013 and confirmed again in 2017. However, to make your own decision please come and see us at one of our open evenings or open mornings. We are always proud to show new parents and students around our inspirational building. I look forward to welcoming you to the Academy in the future." Mr J Jones
Principal, Bristol Brunel Academy

The BBA team are fundraising for Off The Record in memory of a dear friend and colleague, Ashley Jackson.

Ashley was part of the BBA community for 4 years, initially as a Learning Support Assistant, and then returning as a teacher of Technology after completing his training. He was a fantastic, authentic teacher who was always kind and patient, making time for everyone.

In Ashley's memory, a group of colleagues are running the Bristol 10k to raise money for Off The Record, a mental health charity for young people. The fundraising link is below if you would like to contribute:
