What The Good Schools Guide says..
The only common courses here are inquiry time and human ecology. At inquiry time, the school meets to discuss the way we live our lives - ‘[my son] seems to find it valuable for sorting issues out’. Students said they felt listened to: ‘space to speak,’ said one. Games are played for the pleasure of the movement, for the beauty of the shot, with ‘heart [and] everything in the game’, but not for the winning...

What The Good Schools Guide says
Principal
Since 2015, Antonio Autor. Principal by name only: there is no hierarchy here; everyone has a voice and is heard, and everyone has the same salary, from cleaner to principal.
Antonio has the still presence of a mountain or deep water. Here is someone who seems remarkably free of ego or any sort of push; and yet, astonishingly, he had a previous life as a professional footballer. He has a BA in business and has studied English at Cardiff, Brighton and London. He joined Brockwood Park in 1987, and his jobs have ranged from gardener to teacher.
Students: ‘love’ him; ‘above everything, you can go to [him] if out of control’; ‘[I’m] really comfortable talking to him – normal conversation without having to fake adult and know everything.’<br...

Special Education Needs
Brockwood Park fosters an education which encourages academic excellence, self-understanding, creativity and integrity in a safe, non-competitive environment. In consonance with its intentions, and in creating a non-judgemental atmosphere, the school views labelling children as SEN to be problematic and limiting. Moreover, the school’s holistic educational approach and highly individualised educational programme addresses, as a matter of course, the different special needs of all students. The current curriculum provides a diverse and multi-sensory approach that caters for all students’ individual learning needs. Teaching and learning are conducted in small groups wherein the teacher-student ratio allows individualised teaching and instruction. Extensive support for every student’s individual needs is also provided by one-to-one support and supervision by the student’s academic adviser. All students are given personal time and individual support to reflect on their learning (through learning journals) and encouraged to probe into aspects of their learning that they may find challenging. In cases where the school environment and resources do not meet a pupil's learning needs, the student’s needs are reviewed in the teachers’ meeting and additional learning support is provided by the teachers and academic advisers of the student. The school also provides highly individualised pastoral care and support for the special educational needs of all students. Every student has a tutor. Students and tutors meet on a weekly and sometimes even daily basis to discuss day-to-day issues related to the extra-curricular education, wellbeing and learning of the students. We also seek to provide special attention and learning support for students with a statement/EHCP that is consonant with the aims of this, in collaboration with experts from our own staff or from other schools and local authorities, and with direct reference to the DfES SEN code of practice.
