About the School

Brannel School offers 950 places to students aged 11-16. We are situated in the heart of rural Cornwall, approximately 10 miles between Newquay on the north coast and beautiful St Austell Bay on the south coast. Our facilities are second to none – the school was completely redesigned and rebuilt in 2011 as a ‘School of the Future’ at a cost of over £17m.

We aim to be a truly outstanding school, delivering the very best educational opportunities, nurturing academic excellence, and fostering ambition in every one of our students.

Student Support: Our Ethos

At Brannel, we aim to create a tolerant, inclusive community. We adopt a policy of positive behaviour management, which encourages young people to take responsibility for their own actions and to consider their impact on others. Students are encouraged to develop strategies to enable them to behave appropriately and to respond in socially acceptable ways. We believe that students respond best to a calm atmosphere with clear and consistent messages, and that praise and reward and the celebration of success create an environment of mutual support and respect.
