Charity Make up event for the teachers – part one!

By admin10th January 2016
A big big thank you to one of our wonderful parents, Roopa Chudasama, who kindly gave up her time on Friday evening to give the teachers a make up lesson! We had a great time, following Roopa’s step by step guide to create a day time look and an evening look. Roopa not only gave up her time, but provided us all with amazing goody bags full of products from Mac, Boobi Brown, Clinique, Origins…and more!! As well as it being a great opportunity to have a girly get together, we also raised at least £230 for Great Ormond Street Hospital! The next session will take place at the end of the month, so watch this space for more photos and a total amount raised for such a worthwhile charity. Thanks again Roopa!

Meet Henry the Hedgehog…

I was lucky enough to meet him in the car park for the second time this term. He has been busy opening his relationships with the teachers in the mornings giving them a gotcha smile.

I would love to learn more about our new friend does anybody have any interesting facts about hedgehogs they would like to share with the rest of our Brooklands Farm community?

Restorative Practice at Brooklands Farm

By admin1st October 2015

At Brooklands Farm, we use restorative practices to equip all children with lifelong problem solving skills. In this video, these children demonstrate how restorative practices can be used to solve playground disagreements. This scenario was made up by the children in the video. They each decided which role they would like to play and I’m sure you’ll agree they do a fantastic job of making it look like real life!

Brooklands Farm – A ‘Centre of Excellence’ for Inclusion

By admin22nd September 2015
Today, Mr Williams and I visited Pall Mall, in London, to accept a special award called the ‘Inclusion Quality Mark’. Not only did we meet the criteria for the IQM, we have been identified as a ‘Centre of Excellence’ for inclusion.
We are delighted that our commitment to providing an inclusive education for all pupils has been recognised by such a prestigious organisation. Mr Williams and I felt very proud to hear all the wonderful things that were said about Brooklands Farm during the ceremony and we are looking forward to supporting other schools to achieve their IQM in the future.

Open, grow, believe!

We’re now back in full swing at Brooklands Farm!  On Monday, Ms Low led our second whole-school assembly at Fen street. In true Brooklands Farm style, there was lots of singing and celebrating achievements. We were able to congratulate four children who had already received medals by 10am! We have had to order even more medals this year, as we have so many children receiving them. Children can be awarded the Heart, Star or Believe medal – ask your child if you’re not sure what they stand for!

These whole-school assemblies are weekly events at both Fen street and Countess Way. They are a very special time for all of the children and teachers to come together as a whole community. If only we had a big enough hall for everyone from both sites to come together!
