Curriculum Vision
At Brookfield School, we believe every pupil deserves the opportunity to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Our curriculum is designed to inspire confidence, resilience, and curiosity, preparing pupils for life beyond school.
We aim to develop learners who are:
- Ready to Learn – equipped with strategies to engage positively and access learning.
- Lifelong Learners – motivated to continue learning throughout life.
- Responsible Citizens – respectful, empathetic, and active members of their communities.
- Future Ready – prepared with the skills and character to succeed in education, employment, and life.
Curriculum Intent
Our curriculum is ambitious, inclusive, and tailored to meet the needs of pupils with SEMH challenges. It seeks to:
- Promote emotional wellbeing and readiness for learning through therapeutic approaches and supportive relationships.
- Provide a broad and balanced education including core subjects, creative arts, physical education, vocational pathways, and life skills.
- Develop essential skills for independence such as literacy, numeracy, communication, and digital competence.
- Foster positive character and citizenship through PSHE, restorative practices, and community engagement.
- Prepare pupils for their next steps with careers education, work experience, and guidance for post-16 pathways.
Our overarching themes—Ready to Learn, Lifelong Learners, Responsible Citizens, and Future Ready—are embedded throughout every aspect of our curriculum.

The graphic above illustrates the intent and approach of our curriculum. Its key themes are shaped by individual needs (EHCP) and our literacy strategy, while PDSI delivers comprehensive support to enhance access and engagement for all learners.
