A fantastic day yesterday working with the team from BBC Bitesize and hearing our confident and articulate students shape the revision materials ready for their own GCSEs. The team commented on how polite, confident and eager to learn the students were.

A brilliant start to the day with amazing Art work for the Spirited Arts competition BrianClarkeAcademy

Achieving gateway qualifications such as 4/5+ in English and Maths GCSE are disproportionately important if you are from a low income family.

These Year 8 students have achieved an impressive 600 cumulative points (positive points minus negative points) and have earned platinum badges. Mrs Ash presented them with their rewards earlier today. Well done! #TheBrianClarkeCode #Ambition #Excellence #LetYourLightShine
