Exceptional Closure – European Election

There is a requirement that the UK participates in the election to the European Parliament.  The school will be used as a polling station for the election on Thursday 23 May 2019, with the hours of poll being from 7am until 10pm.  Therefore, the school will be closed for all pupils on this day.

However, in the event that a European election will not take place on Thursday 23 May 2019, the school will open as normal for pupils.

Head Teachers Update

At Braidhurst we are proud of the achievements of our pupils and our school and all work extremely hard to ensure our young people experience positive wellbeing, attainment and employability outcomes to enable them to successfully fulfill their role in society by moving onto a positive destination.

While academic attainment is important, school league tables are only a very narrow snapshot of a school’s performance. To find out more about what happens at Braidhurst please visit our website or follow our numerous twitter pages.
