Should parents try Brampton Manor Academy in Newham?

[springisnear]

As you may already know, A record-breaking 51 pupils from a state school in one of London‘s poorest boroughs have been offered places at Oxbridge.

Brampton Manor Academy in Newham, which was praised by grime artist Stormzy for its A-level results, has seen a tenfold increase in Oxbridge offers since 2016.

More than 100 students at the state school have received offers from the two prestigious universities in the past three years.

The majority of students who secured offers are from ethnic minority backgrounds, receive free school meals or will be the first in their family to attend university.

In 2014, just one student received an offer for Oxbridge. Last year, 41 students received offers from Oxford and Cambridge. But this year’s 51 offers sets a new record for the state school.

What do you think about this phenomenon? Should parents try the best for the children to study at this school?

Well, I guess if I lived in Newham I'd be considering it based on what you have written.

Do you have a vested interest?

I assume you are the head teacher doing some utterly unsubtle free advertising ??
Well done all the same , fantastic achievement 👍

You don’t get too many inner city schools in rough areas promoting Oxbridge entry. However, the universities do have measures to try and attract a greater breadth of students, though. Hopefully, other schools can make efforts in that direction too.
