[edit] Time table

Unlike some other schools in London, the official school day starts at 8:15 with either registration or assembly and finishing at 2:20 or 1:20 on Fridays for students who do not have period 5 - one hour earlier than most. This gives pupils the opportunity to organise their time, leaving the afternoon at their leisure. As a result of this, the morning break was shortened to 15 minutes and a longer 30 minute break instead of an hour break. This was also done at the leisure of senior staff, to lessen the paperwork needed for supervision over the pupils during the break time.

[edit] Uniform

The Brampton Manor uniform consists of the following:

White polo shirt with logo
Navy blue jumper with logo
Navy blue trousers, skirts or religious dresses
Black shoes only
Navy blue or black head scarves
Navy blue polo shirt for PE with logo
Navy blue shorts for PE with logo
Navy blue or black jackets (With logo for year 7's)
Black tights - no leggings

[edit] Future plans

There have been rumours about the following:

To convert the School into a Sixth-Form
To update the uniform

The latter has led to concerns over the cost of the new uniforms, especially since the school is situated in a borough which is in the top 5 percentile range on the UK deprivation index.

[edit] Renovational projects

A new sports hall was built and the old sports hall is currently been developed into a new drama studio with a theatre at the front as the Brampton Manor is now a specialist performing arts school.
