Welcome

Brooklands is an excellent school that is passionate about both children’s academic achievement and holistic development. We take a nurturing and inclusive approach to the care of our children whilst also having high expectations of their learning. This is evident in our strong outcomes. We offer our pupils a rich curriculum and extra-curricular diet that allows all our children to succeed and thrive, whatever their strengths or interests, whilst also providing a safe space for them to develop personally, socially and emotionally. We aim for our children to leave Brooklands as resilient, successful and creative learners.  This is based on our school values of:

 

Perseverance | Respect | Honesty | Friendship

Brooklands Bulletin - 22nd September 2023

 

Dear parents,

This week's Bulletin will mostly be concerning the app. Thank you for the solution focused feedback we have had about too many newsfeed posts and being unable to relocate or search for them once sent. The developers have told us it is not possible to filter, flag or search for posts, so we have:

a) reduced the number of posts sent

b) moved most of these posts from 'Newsfeed' to 'Notices' where they will stay on the noticeboard rather than getting lost further down the feed

c) disabled notifications whenever we send a notice, newsfeed post or email

We hope the visuals below are useful:

We are looking forward to our Class Visits on Wednesday next week (please enter/leave through the same doors that your children do at drop-off/collection). 

 

Monday marks the start of Black History Month and whilst we believe the achievements of those of black and ethnic minority heritage should be celebrated throughout the year (achieved through our diverse curriculum offer), this will also be the focus of our assemblies for the month.

 

We will have our second (and final) PTA Headteachers for the Day on Monday - good luck to Lincoln and Archie from Year 4.

 

Please see attached the 'Focus on Learning'. Home Learning will be sent every Friday at 3pm as a 'Notice' from today.

 

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

Mr Beith
