KS3 Provision
The KS3 provision is based in Poulton-le-Fylde and supports around 45 pupils from years 7 to 9. Through our small classroom ratios (7 students per class with a teacher and support staff), we aim to engage pupils with learning, let them experience success and make strong relationships with staff and peers. We have high expectations of work, behaviour and attendance built on a strong foundation of positivity and rewards for work well done.

Transition to Brookfield
At Brookfield, we spend a lot of time working with our incoming Year 7s to establish expected behaviours and routines that will ready our new students for learning. We have a robust transition programme and have our new students visit the school at the end of Year 6 to get a feel for what Brookfield is all about. Our primary model Year 7 allows students to get to know each other better as well as work closely with an individual teacher to adjust to secondary school in a safe and friendly environment, ensuring the best experience for our new students.

Curriculum
Students access a broad and balanced curriculum across Year 7-9, our curriculum is designed to provide tailored, flexible routes through the Key Stage. The Key Stage 3 curriculum has been designed to prepare pupils for Key Stage 4 when they will access GCSE and equivalent qualifications by building skills and offering an engaging curriculum aimed to engage and lay the foundations of lifelong learning.

As an SEMH provision, opportunities for social and emotional development and regulation underpin all learning activities.
