Brooklands is one-form entry primary and nursery school based in a leafy private estate in Blackheath, Greenwich. We aim to provide the very best education for all our pupils; giving time so that each child can develop academic, personal and social skills in a caring and stimulating family-type environment. Here we believe that children learn best through direct experience. Our school curriculum is based on this principle, which captures interest, stimulates enthusiasm and provides learning opportunities for pupils of all abilities. At Brooklands, pupils are encouraged to take an increasing responsibility for their learning, which we believe promotes greater confidence and independence, preparing them for their future life.
