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.
