Brookside Primary caters to children aged from 3 to 11 years, providing an environment that allows children to acquire a wide range of knowledge, skills, and practical abilities.
Brookside is guided by the principles, values, and policies which have delivered success for learners consistently across The Trust. As such, one of our fundamental beliefs is that children thrive in educational settings where they are each known as individuals. Brookside Primary is committed to ensuring that members of staff actively engage with parents, guardians, and carers in planning each child’s learning journey.
As parents, carers, and guardians you are vital partners in all the work we do. It is important that together we build a firm relationship between home and school. As each year passes, we hope that your child will enjoy the stimulating and caring environment to reach their true potential, both socially and academically, by striving for ‘excellence every day.
At Brookside Primary we aim to nurture happy, thoughtful children who grow up to make a difference in the world in which they live.
We provide an atmosphere that enables our children to acquire a wide range of knowledge, skills, and practical abilities. Whatever your child's ability, we shall meet their needs.
At Brookside, we are committed to providing high-quality education for all of our learners, ensuring that every member of the school community is valued and respected, always being treated in a manner that is appropriate and just. We, therefore, aim to be a caring community where everyone is safe and secure. Good behavior is a necessary condition before effective learning can take place. With that said, this does not mean a rigid or punitive system designed to enforce a particular set of rules.
At Brookside, our priority is to promote positive relationships so that everyone can work productively together, sharing a common sense of purpose each achieving the very best they can. Brookside rewards good behavior, recognizes success, and regularly celebrates children’s achievement. We use praise to encourage good behavior with the firm conviction that every child can become self-aware, independent, and confident, both academically and socially.
At Brookside Primary, we wish to promote positive attitudes in the children and amongst all other stakeholders. With this in mind, we seek to fulfill our commitment to you, unimpeded by expectations that would otherwise limit the progress of your child at school.
It is recognized that every child needs to be set challenging targets, creating learning opportunities that allow the individual to build on existing strengths and overcome any weaknesses.
Throughout the school, the children are taught in classes not exceeding thirty in number. Every class has its teacher and spends the majority of lesson time in their classroom. These are appropriately furnished and equipped with quality resources. Each class teacher is supported by a Teaching Partner to ensure individual needs are met, allowing each child to make progress at their own pace and in their way.
With the above in mind, Brookside Primary is well placed to deliver the desired outcomes in a bright and airy learning environment that will inspire and motivate. To complement the main circulation areas, hall, and library, the children benefit from the 'Brookside Garden’ to enrich their curriculum experience. They also enjoy extensive outside play areas with a range of playground equipment, together with the well-maintained sports field to enhance learning.
