Values and vision
The Cornwall school emphasises the "Brannel family atmosphere", paying special attention to the nurturing of confidence in all its students.

Brannel School has specialisms in both English and the performing arts, as well as having specialist provision for the teaching of students with severe physical disabilities.
Ofsted report
“The headteacher is ambitious for the school. He has made staff more accountable for the quality of their work by restructuring the performance management arrangements. Lesson observations take place with no notice and this contributes to a growing ‘open-door’ culture of professional dialogue and aspiration. Well-structured professional development opportunities are provided for staff. For example, many staff have taken the opportunity to learn coaching skills and some are studying for higher professional qualifications.”
