Status

Specialist Status as Language College was awarded to the school in 2002. In 2010, all specialist status school funding was withdrawn by the government. Brookfield School is now solely a secondary school and not a language college.

In May 2005 the Ofsted Inspection report described the school as "poor with some terrible features".

In 2008 Brookfield was inspected by Ofsted and received a grade 3 (Satisfactory).

The school was again inspected by Ofsted in October 2010, with the outcome being an improved grade of 2 ('Good').

In January 2016, Ofsted, after a short inspection, reported that the school continued to be Good.[1]

Subjects taught include English, Maths, Science, Geography, History, RE, Drama, Art, Dance, PE, Technology and ICT.

School buildings
