Life At Braunton
Year 10 Student
All of our teachers are dedicated to creating an environment where every student feels as if they are prepared and ready to learn to the best of their capabilities. By offering personalised guidance and listening with empathy, our teachers help build a school community where everyone can thrive, taking take time to ensure that all students feel heard, seen and valued in their classrooms. Every single one of our teachers go above and beyond to ensure that all students feel a part of our amazing school community.
Year 10 Student
Braunton Academy offers so many extra-curricular activities; there is something for everyone. Whether you are into drama and performing or sport and competing, our school provides a chance to explore and find new interests. I really enjoy the sport events outside of school and having the opportunity to compete against other schools in the area. Through joining school clubs, I have met new people, made new friends and learnt both teamwork and communication skills. If you want to get involved in something other than sport, then Braunton offers plenty of other clubs, for example: chess, Modern Foreign Languages, school performances and Lego. There really is something for everyone.
Year 9 Student
When I first joined Brunton Academy, I wasn’t very strong in English. I often felt unsure about speaking or writing like the others. But what changed everything for me was the kindness and encouragement of the teachers and staff. They were patient, supportive, and helped me build my confidence step by step.
At this Academy, I learned that making mistakes is part of learning, and what matters most is not giving up. Today, not only has my English improved, but I’ve also made great progress in other subjects. I’ve achieved things that make my family proud and bring me happiness too.
Braunton Academy is more than just a place to study for me. It’s where I feel valued, where I’ve made wonderful friends, and where I wake up each day excited to learn and grow. I’m truly grateful to be part of this amazing community and for all the support I’ve received.
Year 8 Student
At Braunton Academy, there is a wide range of extracurricular clubs and activities. I have personally been a part of many of these clubs and have found them inclusive, fun, and a great way to express yourself and meet other people with the same interests as you. Furthermore, our school offers many school trip opportunities for anyone interested, such as eco-club trips, where we find ways to help save our planet, or sports competitions, where students can compete against other schools from all around Devon.
Year 7 Student
Year 7 has been brilliant for lots of different reasons. Although I enjoy all my subjects, I am most passionate about Maths. Solving problems and exploring patterns have helped sharpen my thinking and encouraged me to fully utilise my skills. Outside of the classroom, I have been a part of multiple sports clubs: from climbing to athletics. I’ve also been given the chance to help out at primary school events as a sports leader. After nearly a whole year I still forward to school every day (apart from the weekends!).
