Why join The Brakenhale School and Greenshaw Learning Trust?
We are an 11 to 18 school situated on the southern side of Bracknell town centre. Our commitment to high standards and outstanding teaching has led us to become the school of choice for families in Bracknell Forest. Our progress score this summer has been the highest since its inception.
At Brakenhale, we work to do the simple things well, over and over again, as this is what `great schools do'. We have disruption free lessons, so that teachers focus on teaching. We have worked to simplify systems and structures within out school to help us manage what we do: student line ups every morning so that would children start the day in a calm and orderly manner; we centralise detentions so that teachers are not expected to do these daily; we `live mark' so that teachers do not take class sets of books home; we have two data drops for each year group which reduced the unnecessary need to collect data.
With the above in mind, a vital element of any school and its continued development is the people who are part of it. Every singe member of staff matters. They contribute, individually and within teams, to ensure we drive standards and outcomes. As a result, the enthusiastic, motivated and reflective individual joining us will be eager to be part of this culture.
