Our vision is about securing positive futures for all of our students and providing a sustainable, high-quality educational and creative provision for generations to come: every member of staff at Braunton Academy is a committed and experienced professional, dedicated to developing students’ interests and inspiring them to be successful. We continue to develop our excellent teachers further so that they are able to increasingly apply a range of teaching methods to develop our students’ ability to think and reflect. We look forward to you joining us to work with parents, carers and the wider academy community to realise this vision.
