BROCKWORTH ENTERPRISE SCHOOL

The school was founded in 1967 as the first purpose-built comprehensive school in Gloucestershire. It has recently undergone major refurbishment of the main school block and sports centre and has a brand new maths block. The situation of the school on Mill Lane is on the edge of open countryside overlooked by the Cotswold Hills. The modern buildings, which include a sports centre, dance studio and swimming pool, occupy an extremely attractive site with extensive playing fields. Planning and funding applications are currently on-going to site the Jet Age aircraft museum on the school site.

There is a wide catchment area including Brockworth, Hucclecote, Upton St Leonards, the eastern suburbs and City of Gloucester and the rural areas to the east extending up onto the Cotswold Hills. Such a large catchment area includes children of all abilities and a considerable variety of socio-economic backgrounds. We are a comprehensive school which is proud to be inclusive - we aim to do well by students of all abilities

The curriculum of the school is broad, balanced and relevant to the changing needs of the individual regardless of age, ability or sex. At Key Stage 3 students will follow a competence curriculum to build on the Y6 experience as well as lessons in Mathematics, English, Science, French (and German in Y8), Design Technology, Music, Physical Education and ICT.

A highly skilled and sympathetic Special Needs Department assists in the programme of children who have learning difficulties. A Personal Social and Careers Education (PSCE) programme runs throughout the school and involves all tutors and tutor groups. Citizenship is co-ordinated through PSCE.

The school has a growing reputation in the area and has shown itself to be committed to school improvement as confirmed in the Ofsted Inspection of November 2006.
