Pupils thrive in every way imaginable at Brooklands School. Echoing the views of so many, one parent, completing Ofsted Parent View, said, ‘I actually find it hard finding words to express just how fantastic I think this school is.’ Staff have the highest aspirations. They work tirelessly and collaboratively with parents, carers and other professionals to help pupils achieve things never thought possible. Pupils attend very well and enjoy learning. One parent, talking about her son, said, ‘He literally hops into school every day.’ Respect permeates the school. Pupils’ social and communication skills develop exceptionally well. The curriculum is highly ambitious. Importantly, pupils’ individual needs are expertly identified and very well understood. Their education, health and care needs are carefully planned for. Staff work together to ensure that these needs are effectively met. The excellent support that pupils receive helps them to understand the world around them. As a result, behaviour is excellent. Several communication strategies give all pupils a voice so that they can communicate how they feel, their likes, dislikes and needs. Pupils benefit highly from stimulating activities and experiences. They achieve exceptionally well, become more independent and are very well prepared for the future.
