What the school says...
Since 1969, Brockwood Park School has offered a unique approach to education, set in the beautiful surroundings of a national park. For around 60 students from more than 20 countries, it truly becomes a home away from home. Without grades, competition and rewards, students are given the freedom to discover their passions and take responsibility for their own learning. By living closely with others in a home-like setting, students form deep relationships and develop natural intelligence, affection and maturity. Encouraged to question life and understand a complex world, they gain a global outlook, confidence and a lifelong love of learning. ...Read more

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.
