Framlingham College and Brandeston Hall
Brandeston Hall
Mission Statement
We are committed to the provision of a first class, holistic education, in a safe and inspiring environment, accessible to a broad range of boys and girls.
Aims
Brandeston Hall is a co-educational school which welcomes pupils from a wide range of backgrounds and of differing abilities.
We believe that a holistic approach to education will maximise the potential of each individual pupil, whatever his or her starting point in terms of academic merit. We aim to prepare children for senior schools with the best possible passport in terms of results but know that pupils’ learning potential is maximised when they are stimulated in a variety of ways. Pupils who enjoy a zest for life, who become involved in a range of opportunities outside the classroom, will develop confidence and a sense of purpose which will inevitably impact upon achievement in class. We aim to instil firm values in our pupils, based upon Christian principles but not limited by religion. Within a disciplined structure, respect and concern for others, good manners, self-discipline, responsible stewardship of the environment should be the hallmark of life within our community.
All staff who work in the school must support our aims and be prepared to play a part in each of the three strands of education identified.
- Encouraging the development of well-rounded, considerate individuals who are aware of their responsibilities to others. (Depth)
- Optimising the academic achievement of each individual. (Height)
- Creating opportunities for all pupils to acquire a wide range of skills and experiences. (Breadth)
In this way, Brandeston Hall aspires to offer all its pupils, boarding and day alike, an educational experience which sets us apart from our competitors.
Framlingham College
Mission Statement
We are committed to the provision of a first class, holistic education, in a safe and inspiring environment, accessible to a broad range of boys and girls.
Community
Pupils, parents, staff, governors, ex-students and associated parties are all part of an evolving and dynamic community which has Christian principles at its heart. The Christian ethos is not defined in terms of doctrine, but embraces shared values:
- care for others within our school, local community and the wider world,
- tolerance and respect,
- honesty and integrity,
- responsibility.
The College is an aspirational community with a strongly developed sense of identity and purpose. Its membership includes past and present members, and our hope is that pupils, staff and parents will appreciate what a Framlingham education achieves to the extent that there will be a natural desire to remain in contact with the Framlingham family, contributing to and helping to shape its future.
Academic Rigour
The College aims to stretch, support and develop the academic potential of each pupil, willingly accepting children of differing starting abilities balanced across the spectrum. Whilst it is recognised that there must be a base line level of ability in order to access what is essentially a traditional yet dynamic curriculum, we encourage applications from purposeful young people whose major strengths may not be defined in purely academic terms.
Opportunity
The College believes that breadth of opportunity is essential to inspire and motivate the young. A rich diversity of activities beyond the confines of curriculum unlocks enthusiasm, builds self confidence and uncovers hidden talents, developing strengths which then impact on all aspects of a student's development.
