Mobile Phones: Students are allowed to bring mobile phones to the Academy, however, before entering the Academy site, mobile phones are to be turned off and put away in either the student's bag or locker. ‘See it, Hear it, Take it’ is our BA policy for mobile phones. This policy will be implemented if students are seen or heard using their mobile phones. This means if your child’s mobile phone is either seen or heard, it will be removed and then placed in the Academy safe in Student Services. Students will have to wait till the end of the Academy day before they are allowed to collect their mobile phones. Multicultural: The Academy is committed to multicultural policies, ensuring equality of education and opportunity for all students (see Equal Opportunities). N No Smoking: Brompton Academy is a non-smoking site. Anyone found smoking (includes the use of e-cigarettes) on site; staff, visitor or student will be liable for a fine under new legislation that came in on 1st July 2007. This applies to anywhere on the Academy site – indoors and outdoors. Directory A-Z

R Reach: The word REACH stands for Resilience, Equality, Aspiration, Community and Happiness. These individual words underpin our core values which ebb and flow throughout the life force of the Academy community instilling a sense of self belief, purpose and belonging. Recycling Uniform Project: The Recycling Uniform Project provides our parents and carers with the opportunity to support the recycling of Academy uniform items which we sell at very affordable prices. The Recycling Uniform Project is a great way for parents and carers to have a more economical alternative choice when purchasing their child's Academy uniform. You can access the Recycling Uniform Project by visiting the Brompton Academy website. Registers: All students are registered in every lesson, every day.

A variety of hot and cold meals and snacks are offered at lunchtime
