About The Brookfield School

The Brookfield School is a specialist setting with 100 students, although this fluctuates due to our in-reach and intervention programs. The school serves students from all over Herefordshire and into the surrounding counties. All students have an EHC Plan for SEMH but many also have secondary special educational needs such as Autism or ADHD.

Our ethos is centred on a Trauma Informed approach to education with therapy informed practice and a sense of empathy and compassion towards our pupils.

As a result of our established vision, ethos and Leadership Team, the school is recognized as being a strong provision that works well with local mainstream Primary schools to get the best outcomes for the child. The LA have also worked closely with the Headteacher in order to tailor the provision of the school to local need and to develop the school site so that is creates high aspirations for our pupils.

The Brookfield School provides in-reach support to around 20 pupils each year across Herefordshire.
This is a 12-week part time placement or full-time provision for permanently excluded pupils or pupils at risk of permanent exclusion who are awaiting an EHCP for Social, Emotional Mental Health needs until they are ready for reintegration into mainstream or Specialist settings.

We are committed to high quality professional development and career opportunities for all staff and have an excellent record of internal growth and development.

It is essential for the successful candidate to have a strong passion for working within an SEMH school; with the commitment to bring out the best in all the children and ensuring it is a rewarding, positive experience, which builds towards an exciting future. You will need resilience, humour, compassion and empathy and in return, we offer a supportive group of likeminded professionals and senior leaders who always go above and beyond for the pupils in our care.

I look forward to hearing from you and warmly invite you to come into school to discuss the role in person and to see our happy, welcoming school.
