Brookfield School is a special school based in Poulton-le-Fylde that caters for pupils with a wide range of needs and challenges linked to social, emotional and mental health (SEMH).
Brookfield School aims to provide each pupil with the necessary support, intervention and opportunity to meet their learning, pastoral and social needs alongside future destinations and career aspirations. We also work closely with previous schools, families and supporting agencies to provide the very best level of support for each pupil.
Our school includes three provisions split across three different sites, allowing our students to have the strongest opportunities for success at every level. KS3 is based at Poulton, KS4 is based in Fleetwood, and our Transition Pathway is based in Warton. We provide a learning pathway that aligns with mainstream provision but with smaller classes and increased support.
We also provide specialist Yr 7 provision that adopts a primary model of delivery to support transition. At KS4 we have a comprehensive academic, vocational and careers offer that provides the skills, attributes and confidence for all pupils to succeed in their onward journey (Post-16).
