Academic Achievement in a Family Setting

Wellbeing is our priority, and our students develop confidence and resilience, building strong social and emotional skills. We recognise and value every one of our students as individuals and their education is tailored to meet their needs throughout their school journey.

We are proud of our inclusive approach and ‘positive education’ model, focusing on each child’s natural strengths, enhancing their academic performance and developing their life skills. These foundations will stay with them for life, helping them to grow into dynamic and successful global citizens.

Testimonials
International Boarder
""I'm from Mexico and everyone would imagine that it would be a hard adaptation to study in a place far away from home, however, the students and teachers made it very easy. They were always friendly and made me feel at home from the first moment.""
ISI Inspection 2019
"Pupils’ social awareness is excellent as a result of the harmonious and respectful relationships that characterise the school environment. Pupils learn to respect and value diversity and they show excellent sensitivity and tolerance to those from different backgrounds. Pupils have high levels of moral conscience and the kindness and support they show towards one another is outstanding."
ISI Report 2019
"Throughout the school, pupils are successful in developing a good foundation of knowledge, skills and understanding in all subjects. This is underpinned by a balanced curriculum, small class sizes and a team of dedicated teachers."
Brookes Parent
"Brookes is the perfect school for my children ranging between the ages of 14 and 8. There are sports, drama, academia, arts, music - a wonderful array of activities, clubs and trips to suit a broad spectrum of a child's gifts, needs and talents. Thank you Brookes."
Brookes Parent, 2018
"It is lovely to hear about the exciting prospects ahead for Brookes. It is wonderful that the children are able to experience different cultures as a result of international boarders visiting the school. The girls are very happy to be a part of the ‘Brookes family’ and I would like to express my gratitude for making school a pleasurable and nurturing environment for them. This ethos had previously been lacking in prior schools in which the girls had attended, which is what makes Brookes so unique."
Brookes Parent
"'Brookes' is an exceptional school community. Our four children are highly valued as individuals. They have made outstanding progress and have been given an array of enrichment opportunities in addition to the broad curriculum. Our youngest child has been attending Brookes for the last eight years. There is no other place we want them to be and we feel assured they are going to grow up to be confident, well rounded and respectful young adults with the education and tools enabling them to find their special place in the world. "
