About

At Brookland Infant and Nursery School, we are proud to be a friendly, inclusive, and nurturing community where every child is valued and supported to achieve their very best. Our motto Be Kind, Grow Together, Learn Forever reflects our belief in fostering a lifelong love of learning, encouraging strong friendships, and helping children grow into confident, caring individuals.

We celebrate the diversity of our families and place great importance on the values of friendship, honesty, respect, responsibility, courage, and tolerance in all that we do. The school has three classes in each year group Reception, Year 1, and Year 2 with 30 children in each class. Our Nursery offers both 15-hour and 30-hour places to suit families needs.

As a non-denominational community school maintained by the London Borough of Barnet, we are fortunate to be situated next to Brookland Junior School. This close relationship helps to provide a smooth and supportive transition for our children when the time comes to move on.
