Welcome to our School's profile. Brooklands School forms part of the Maritime Academy Trust, a multi-academy trust that is committed to making sure that education is meaningful.
Our Trust is made up of 11 primary schools located in Greenwich, Bexley and Kent. Though our schools may be different with their own in-school culture and community spirit, they all work harmoniously and collaboratively together within an entrepreneurial curriculum that ensures each and every child is being equipped with leadership and life skills. At Maritime, we do this by empowering schools to drive more meaningful and enjoyable outcomes for children by having great people working for us, who commit to working hard to make an impact whatever the school and whatever the role.
At Brooklands we believe that it is our responsibility to create a place of learning which is populated with curious, resilient and independent learners for life.
We expect all of our learners to:
- Be curious
- Concentrate
- Co-operate
- Enjoy learning
- Find things out
- Have a go/take risks
- Keep improving
- Persevere and not give up
- Use their imagination
- Respect and care for others
We believe these are the ‘keys to success’ and, as such, we ensure that our curriculum provides many opportunities to hone these lifelong skills. We believe that if these skills are developed in all our learners they will be well-equipped to thrive in our ever-changing and challenging world, enabling choice and opening up options for their futures.
So, if you are looking for a place to apply your knowledge and develop your skill set in a friendly and energised environment, then Maritime may be the place for you. All we ask for is a commitment to continue to learn and the flexibility to try new things as we strive to ensure that every single child receives a phenomenal education.
