Welcome

Welcome to Brooklands School. We are a primary, split site, community day special school. Our Wray Park site is for children with severe or profound and multiple learning difficulties, including children with autism. Our Alexander Road site is for pupils with Complex Social Communication Needs (CSCN).

Children are admitted from 3 years of age and may continue their education here until the age of 11. We currently have 175 pupils on roll. Children coming into the Nursery don’t usually have an EHCP. For these children there is a period of assessment, after which the school will work with parents to initiate the EHCP process. Children coming to the school from Reception to Year 6 will have an EHCP.

Both Brooklands sites stand in their own grounds in quiet residential areas and are all on one level which helps to ensure safety and accessibility for all pupils. At Wray Park we have a large hall with fitted PE apparatus, a soft play room, swing room and high quality indoor swimming and hydrotherapy pools.  At Alexander Road there is a large hall, a two-story soft play room and a sensory room.

At Brooklands, everything we do is for our incredible pupils and their families. We aim for every day to be filled with exciting learning opportunities through the delivery of an inspiring curriculum that is purpose driven, encourages a sense of belonging in the local community and enables our pupils to be all they can be.

On 2nd December 2024 we joined Weydon Multi Academy Trust (WMAT). Joining WMAT will be an exciting new chapter for Brooklands School. We both share a vision of being stronger together and transforming lives, which aligns perfectly with our commitment to providing exceptional education and support to all students. This partnership will undoubtedly enhance the educational experience and opportunities for students, ensuring that every child receives the support they need to thrive. Together, we can achieve great things and make a significant impact on the lives of our students and their families. Please follow the link to find out more about WMAT’s Vision and Values.
