The school ethos should be felt as you walk around and meet the staff and pupils. We are a small school and therefore are able to prioritise the individual needs of each child. Nevertheless, we have high aspirations and expectations and particularly value co-operative, sharing and group work which represents developing social maturity in young people. Each class teacher has pastoral responsibility for their own class and will always endeavour to maintain good communications with home.

• We aim to challenge each pupil to perform to the best of his/her ability.

• We aim to enable each pupil to confidently participate in, and contribute to, their local community life.
• We aim to foster knowledge and respect for other people, nationalities, beliefs and ways of life.
At Bracken Hill school, every individual is valued for who they are and what they contribute to the school. Values are intended to support the personal, social and spiritual development of every pupil throughout the school. Through these values we aim to:
• Promote positive behaviour, conduct and self-confidence by developing strong values within the pupils at the school.
