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 In 2010, all specialist status school funding was withdrawn by the government.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 simply a secondary school and not a language college.
In May 2005 the OFSTED Inspection report described the school as, "good with some outstanding features". It provides a good quality of education to the students..
In 2008 Brookfield was inspected by OFSTED and received a 3, which is classed as 'satisfactory'.
The school was again inspected by OFSTED in October 2010, with the outcome being an improved grade of 2 ('really rather good').
In January 2016, OFSTED, after a School short inspection, reported that the school continues to be good (OFSTED report Jan 2016).
The senior leadership team is made up of the Headteacher, three Deputy Headteachers, an Assistant Headteacher, a Business Manager and the Support Services Manager. A team of Pastoral Support Officers take responsibility for behaviour management. In September 2010 the school introduced linear tutor grouping, whereby the school was split into seven houses, each named after a colour. After the London Olympics in 2012, these houses were renamed after famous olympic athletes' surnames, voted for by parents & students at the time. The houses are now known as Ainslie (Orange), Ennis House (Red), Farah House (Blue), Hoy (Green), Murray House (Turquoise), Simmonds (Yellow) and Wiggins (Purple). A diverse range of subjects are taught throughout the school, including English, Maths, Science, Geography, History, RE, Drama, Art, Dance, PE, Technology and ICT with many after school clubs which change for each term.
