I am very proud of our school. Every member of the school community makes a huge contribution to our success as a center of learning. Our wonderful teachers and teaching assistants, the support staff and of course the brilliant children who make our school such a wonderful place to learn and work. We also rely on the engagement of our families to help and support our efforts.
Our new school vision and strategic aims set out everything we want for our school community as we go forward, but our core aims of CONFIDENCE, OPPORTUNITIES & POTENTIAL are what guide us on a day to day basis. Our 2022 OFSTED inspection found Brook Street to be a good school in every aspect.
OFSTED believe the school to be a very inclusive school, where more than 25 different home languages are spoken and all groups of pupils achieve well. We are proud of the fact that the children at our school, with their many cultures, faiths and languages, embody British values such as acceptance, mutual respect and individual freedom.
