What the school offers its staff
A warm welcome to Brook Green Centre for Learning. The school was built in 2008, we currently have 102 students on roll and an average class size of 10 with one teacher and a range of TLAs. Our students come from across the city and the surrounding areas. Our amazing young people are best described as having complex learning difficulties and disabilities (CLDD) with a condition for admission that all children have ‘Low’ cognitive ability (MLD) and are working well below age related expectations. Additionally, many of our students have SEMH needs, ASD, Speech, Language and Communication Needs and/or other neuro-developmental or medical needs. There has been a significant increase in the number of students with an ASD diagnosis in the last 36 months. Less than 10% of students are independent travellers to school.
We include therapeutic support from speech and language therapists, an occupational therapist, CAMHS worker and counsellors in our provision to better meet the holistic needs of our young people and therefore impact upon student progress. We have a regular clinic on site with a Paediatrician to review student needs. We also work closely with the school nursing team and with our Educational Psychologist.
We offer a range of in-house therapies, delivered by our Teaching and Learning Assistants. Our curriculum is based on the secondary school model. Our students take GCSE, BTEC, Foundation Level and Entry Level Pathway qualifications and the Duke of Edinburgh award. At the end of Year 11 our students transfer to a College of Further Education, or specialist provider. Brook Green Centre for Learning is a truly unique place to learn and to work and if you feel you would like to join our thriving and happy school community in this exciting new post, we really would like to hear from you.
