Bruntcliffe Academy

Our five Core values were developed in partnership with students, parents/carers, governors and member of staff; they define Bruntcliffe’s ethos and are embedded in every aspect of our school. Embracing our values of Community, Productivity, Inclusivity, Integrity, and Ambition enables our students to flourish in an environment where they feel included, celebrated, and encouraged to be intellectually curious and proud of their achievements. Our students are encouraged to play an active part within the academy and local community, shaping their experience and forging a path of excellence for all.

Bruntcliffe Academy is fortunate to be part of one of the highest performing Multi-Academy Trusts in the country. The GORSE Academies Trust, led by Sir John Townsley, Chief Executive Officer and Leanne Griffiths, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, along with the wider Executive Team is an organisation driven by a desire to ensure that best possible educational outcomes for all. As a result of this partnership and the sharing of educational expertise, all students, including those who would otherwise face disadvantage socio-economically, are afforded the opportunity to progress to their desired choice of high-quality education, training or employment.
