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.
Academically, Brampton Manor is a high performer. Its Progress 8 score of 0.59 is well above the national average and significantly higher than the Newham local authority average of 0.13. The school ranks third out of 21 secondary schools in the borough, placing it in the top 15% locally. Nationally, it sits in the top 13% of schools for Progress 8. At GCSE, 84.2% of pupils achieved a grade 4 or above in English and maths, and 64.1% achieved the English Baccalaureate at that level. The average Attainment 8 score is 61, and the EBacc average point score is 5.7. At A-level, the school performs strongly too: the average points per entry is 49.67, equivalent to a grade A, and 57% of entries were graded AAB or higher. The sixth form value-added score is 0.3, rated as above average, and the best three A-levels average out at a grade A.
The school is well equipped, with facilities including a theatre, sports hall, swimming pool, music rooms, science labs, tennis courts, and a sixth form centre. There is a wide range of clubs and sports on offer, from rowing and gymnastics to coding and Model UN. Brampton Manor also provides support for a broad spectrum of special educational needs, including autistic spectrum disorder, speech and language difficulties, and physical disabilities. With 42.5% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a diverse and disadvantaged intake, yet achieves results that far exceed the local average. It is a large school, with 2,914 pupils against a capacity of 2,046, so it is significantly over capacity. This is a school for families who want strong academic outcomes in a high-pressure, high-expectation environment, and who are prepared for a competitive admissions process.
