Status
[edit]Specialist Status as Language College was awarded to the school in 2002. In 2010, all specialist status school funding was withdrawn by the government. Brookfield School is now solely a secondary school and not a language college.
In May 2005 the Ofsted Inspection report described the school as "poor with some terrible features".
In 2008 Brookfield was inspected by Ofsted and received a grade 3 (Satisfactory).
The school was again inspected by Ofsted in October 2010, with the outcome being an improved grade of 2 ('Good').
In January 2016, Ofsted, after a short inspection, reported that the school continued to be Good.[1]
Subjects taught include English, Maths, Science, Geography, History, RE, Drama, Art, Dance, PE, Technology and ICT.
School buildings
[edit]There are 12 computer suites around the School, and specialist rooms for catering, science and wood tech. The performing arts centre, completed in 2003, was named after former head teacher Mark Roe.[2]
