Brookfields School - a little about us
Brookfields School is a thriving and
dynamic special school in West Berkshire offering an ‘outstanding’ (OfSTED 2010) education for pupils aged from 2 to 19 who have a learning difficulty. The school is able to offer tailored education programmes to meet the unique and individual needs of pupils with Moderate, Severe or Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties. In addition to a learning difficulty, some of the pupils we support may have additional needs such as ASD, ADHD, sensory impairments or a physical impairment.
We deliver our pupil centred approach through the school's multi-disciplinary team consisting of the parents, class room staff, speech therapists, physiotherapists, OT 
and school nurse. We are a highly regarded resource offering a cutting edge approach to the education of pupils with ASD through P.L.A.Y. and also to pupils who have sensory impairments through the school's Sensory Resource.
The school is unique as we have a range of services available for parents and professionals to use such as our highly regarded training courses; our Outreach and Consultancy Service where we are able to offer advice and support for statemented pupils in a mainstream setting; support from qualified and highly skilled staff outside of the traditional school day.
Specialist School Status
In September 2007 we successfully secured status as a Specialist School in Special Educational Needs (SEN). Our specialism is ‘Cognition and Learning’ and the extra funding this has provided has allowed us to begin many exciting developments and projects to benefit both the pupils at Brookfields School as well as our local community.
To support this initiative and to enhance the pupils opportunities we have put in to place a range of resources – we have a brand new state-of-the-art drama studio; a specialist literacy assistant to develop pupils reading skills; a woodwork technician to work alongside pupils to assist them with Brookfields Enterprise Education; an aromatherapist and masseur for pupils with complex needs; a specialist numeracy assistant to enhance the teaching of maths and numeracy skills. more
Brookfields School is proud to be connected with a range of community partners who actively support the work we undertake through this initiative. A large part of our work is to offer our services and expertise in the area of SEN to all of our partner schools. We offer a wide range of training courses and consultancy in many areas of SEN such as raising disability awareness in local businesses and schools.
