Summer School

Each year, Brookfield liaises with junior/primary schools asking them to identify and nominate students they feel would benefit from having an extra transition to prepare them for secondary school. These students are then invited to join us before the start of the academic year for our transition summer school programme.

In the first instance please contact your child’s junior/primary school regarding your child being nominated for summer school.

The programme offers a combination of academic education and enrichment activities which are designed to also support student’s wellbeing. Our summer school programme is concluded with an activity day where students will take part in a Science competition and ends with a cinema experience.

Our Summer School is led by our Director of Learning (Inclusion) supported by members of the pastoral and ELSA team alongside members of our teaching staff. There is no cost to parents as school will provide all the resources for classroom led activities along with a mid-morning snack.

Students who attend summer school are supported by the staff team as they settle into Year 7 with regular catch-up sessions with their allocated staff member.
