About Brookwood Primary School
Brookwood Primary School is a friendly, welcoming, inclusive school judged Good by Ofsted in November 2015. With around 200 pupils on roll, we create a lively, stimulating and caring environment in which everyone is valued as an individual. Our expectations are high, encouraging everyone to be the best they can be.
At the heart of our school is a beautiful Edwardian building with many of its original features preserved. This houses two classrooms and a range of offices and other teaching spaces including a huge library. This has been added to over the years with the latest addition being a beautiful purpose-built Sure Start Children Centre. We have extensive, wooded grounds which include a wildlife pond, activity trails, sand pits, seating, a large sports field, a playground with netball court and an allotment. The grounds have been developed by the Gardening/Eco-club to include wildlife friendly areas with habitats created for insect houses. We now run a Forest School programme.
The pupils in school mainly live either in Brookwood, nearby Knaphill or live in military housing attached to the Pirbright Camp. This creates an enriching diversity of background, experience, outlook, language and ethnicity. What all pupils have in common is that, once in school, they are Brookwood children and are fiercely proud of it!
We are equally proud to have an Eco-School Green Flag which acknowledges our success at managing our buildings and grounds in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way. We also hold a Sing Up Gold Award reflecting our passion for music in school, an enhanced Healthy Schools Award and the prestigious Silver Sainsbury's Schools Games Mark award.
