"Thank you for the opportunity for us to come and see the Opal session, it was lovely to attend. I would like to say that I was so impressed with the pupils at Branfil. I was watching my year 1 son join in an activity going down a ramp in a crate and the support, encouragement and patience that the older boys helping gave him when they could have been off playing themselves was an absolute credit to yourselves and the school."

"This school is a kind and friendly place. Staff at Branfil take every opportunity to model the school’s values of love, explore, aspire, respect and nurture. This helps pupils to understand how these values can positively shape their conduct and the way that they speak to others. In class and in the playground, pupils try hard to live out these values. Pupils are happy at school and they enjoy their time here."

Ofsted Report

"I think this school is amazing as they always hire staff who are eager to help children learn more and more!"

Branfil Pupil

"As a past pupil of Branfil I am immensely proud that my children walk the same halls as I did when I was young and I know how integral the primary experience is to developing young people. I am pleased with the way this year has gone and I look forward to their positive experience of the Branfil family continuing."

"Positive behaviour in lessons supports pupils’ learning. Pupils know that, if they have a concern, a trusted adult would be on hand to help them to resolve any worries. Pupils work well together and they support each other. Lunchtimes are fun and pupils play well with one another. Pupils enjoy the range of activities that they can take part in during their social times."

Ofsted Report

"Leaders have thought thoroughly about supporting pupils’ personal development. They put in place rich wider experiences for pupils to learn from, including, for instance, through the creation of numerous school leadership opportunities for pupils. Pupils appreciate these and carry out their roles diligently and with pride. Pupils also take part in fundraising activities for both their school and the local community. The school plans a variety of educational visits, clubs and other experiences to make sure that pupils have experiences that go beyond those they might otherwise have."
