Our School

Brakenhale School is a school where we all strive for excellence. We are a high performing 11-18 secondary school with a resolute determination to accelerate students’ life chances. Our new Headteacher joined us on the 1st September 2021 and with his leadership, we aim to be truly exceptional. Our team approach to everything we do will enable this. Furthermore, Brakenhale School is part of the high achieving Greenshaw Learning Trust (GLT) where the support and guidance is of a high quality. 

An Ofsted inspection in January 2019 graded the school as ‘good’ overall. However, areas were also awarded as ‘outstanding’. We are extremely proud of what we do and often talk of ‘refinement’ as the mechanism to make us even better. As a secondary school serving the local community, we had over 550 preferences for 210 Year 7 places for September 2021. Families want to send their child to our school; we are proud of this.

What we offer

You will be an excellent teacher in your own right. You will also be open to development and coaching for not only yourself but to develop those around you.

As part of GLT, you will be open to opportunities to develop as an individual within the school but also across the trust itself. There are a number of subjects and leadership networks that operate across GLT which offer professional development with a real focus on pedagogy and leadership. Also, the value of being part of our team should not be underestimated. Joining Braknehale will mean that you will be part of a supportive and dedicated group of staff who will invest in your professional development.
