What it feels like to work here

At Brooklands relationships matter, every individual is known, and no one is expected to succeed alone.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice the calm, welcoming atmosphere and strong sense of teamwork that runs throughout the school. Many of our colleagues have worked here for a number of years, contributing to a stable and supportive culture built on trust, shared values and genuine care for one another.

Every day at Brooklands brings something different. You might be supporting children in carefully planned, child-centred learning, working collaboratively with colleagues, leading a small group, or helping to deliver the enrichment experiences that bring learning to life.

Whether it's outdoor learning in our exceptional grounds, the "barn to fork" garden project, community events, or celebrating pupils' achievements, staff play an active role in creating the experiences that help children grow in confidence and curiosity.
