Our read on Brandon Intermediate
A School Making Progress With Important Work Ahead
Brandon Intermediate has made genuine improvements since its 2022 review, particularly in culturally responsive teaching and supporting at-risk learners. However, the school faces significant challenges with student achievement in writing and mathematics, and attendance remains well below the government target. A new principal is starting in Term 1 2026, which brings both opportunity and a period of transition.
