About Brampton Manor Academy
Brampton Manor Academy is one of the most sought-after secondary schools in Newham, and the numbers tell a clear story. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 2,605 applications for just 443 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 5.88. Of those applicants, 1,231 put it as their first preference, and 437 first-preference offers were made. That level of demand reflects strong confidence from local families, and while the school does not publish a formal parent satisfaction survey, the sheer volume of applications is a powerful signal in itself. The school is led by headteacher Dayo Olukoshi and is non-denominational. It is a mixed, state secondary for pupils aged 11 to 18, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 confirmed it remains Outstanding, a grade it has held consistently since at least 2012.
