Welcome to Brigshaw High School

Dear Students, Parents, and Members of the Brigshaw High School Community,

Welcome to Brigshaw High School, where our mission is to help each student forge their greatness. We believe that greatness is not just about academic achievement, but about developing the whole person—fostering resilience, respect, equality, and integrity. At Brigshaw, we strive to provide an environment that nurtures both personal growth and academic success, guiding our students from cradle to career.

Our staff at Brigshaw are dedicated to helping each student unlock their full potential by focusing on three key areas:

Fostering a sense of community and belonging: We create a school where every student feels valued, respected, and part of a larger, supportive community. With integrity at the heart of everything we do, we encourage students to develop a strong moral compass, preparing them to make positive contributions to society.

Supporting personal and social development: Education is about more than academics. By building resilience, we help students develop the confidence and self-belief they need to face challenges, learn from setbacks, and continually grow, both personally and socially.

Upholding high expectations and providing opportunities for growth: We believe in each student's potential and set high expectations to inspire them to achieve their best. By offering diverse opportunities for personal growth and helping students achieve great results in qualifications, we prepare them for lives of choice and opportunity. Brigshaw High School equips every individual to succeed and pursue fulfilling careers that reflect their talents and aspirations.

Together, as a school community, we are committed to forging greatness — both in ourselves and in our students. Thank you for being a part of Brigshaw High School's journey. We look forward to working with you as we continue to build a vibrant, thriving school that empowers each individual to succeed from cradle to career.

Mr Duncan Roberts

Headteacher
