A very warm welcome to Brompton Academy a highly oversubscribed secondary school serving the local community of Medway. I am incredibly proud to be the Principal of this fantastic school and part of a devoted and passionate team of professionals who are dedicated to 'Transforming Lives Through Learning'. To enable our students to be happy and successful learners, we aim to create a caring, supportive, and aspirational learning environment. Central to this are our REACH values, based on the statue that stands proudly in front of the Academy. REACH stands for Resilience, Equality, Aspiration, Community and Happiness and are the building blocks of what we strive for students to represent at Brompton Academy. Students are rewarded for demonstrating these values and they take pride showing them in the school community. We believe that setting high expectations is central to the success of our students, not just academically but as individuals who are empowered to achieve future success in their lives. Our extensive careers programme which is built into lessons and complimented by regular events gives students the skills and knowledge they need to plan for and achieve the future they want.
