A sunny sponsored walk!
Fri 28 Oct 2022Who listens to the weather forecast anyway?!
Our fundraising sponsored walk took place in beautiful autumn sunshine this week - despite a rather unfavourable forecast beforehand! Our younger pupils did a few laps of our school grounds while others took in the fresh air around the Sports Hub & football pitches in the local area - then it was back to the playground to dance and have some fun!
Thank you to all of our parents, carers & families who have sent in such generous donations - we'll let you know a total after half term!
Have a wonderful week off everyone - stay safe, be good & have lots of fun!
School resumes again on Monday 7th November. 😀

They took us out on to the roads around the school and taught us a great many things ... that will certainly stand the pupils in good stead for future road cycling.

Smiled & surprises for Mellow Yellow Day!
Thu 06 Oct 2022What a brilliant MELLOW YELLOW DAY at Brooklands! 😃💛😎
Our pupils and staff enjoyed a wonderful day of relaxing classroom activities including music, drama, art, dance & discussion! 😍🎶🖼🎭
We also said a very Happy special Birthday to the one and only Mrs Bell - who was surprised by retired friends in person & by a famous former pupil via video - Countdown and 5 live host, Colin Murray! (Check out our school Instagram account for his message!)
Our school places the utmost importance in making sure our boys and girls understand and look after their mental health; being able to talk about their feelings, express their emotions & know that their friends, teachers, assistants & staff are there for them during the school day.👌🏻💯💛
