The Brookfield School

• Green Spider

  Tue 20 May 2025

  A group of year 8 students had an amazing session at Green Spider on Friday. Thanks to Stride for organising. The boys got the opportunity to try a number of events including Street Dance, Climbing, Mental Strengthening and Martial Arts. All the boys said that they had felt more confident to try new activities as the day progressed, they all joined in and were a credit to themselves and the school. Well done boys!

  

• Bikeability

  Thu 15 May 2025

  Today I had the pleasure of assisting the Bikeability instructors with a group of 9 pupils, from across year 7-10 as they completed their Level 2 Bikeability.  It was fantastic to see their confidence and awareness increase through the day, showing a fantastic ability to learn and adapt to a changing environment around them.  Many of our pupils are confident riders, but may lack road sense and awareness when out on the road, something the expert instructors teach them.  It is a fantastic life skill to have and to know our pupils are safer and more aware when out on a bike is a wonderful thing.  We now have over 80% of pupils from year 7-11 that have completed the course and have 2 further dates in the autumn to hit a similar figure in years 5-6.  A big thanks to Steve, Emma and Sue for their expertise, care and attention to detail in ensuring all our pupils completed the course.   

  

• The Brookfield School V Aconbury Football Match

  Wed 30 Apr 2025

  Well done to the Year 7 & 8 Football team who followed up recent fixtures against Whitecross with our first fixture against Aconbury.  The team showed real character against a strong opposition and never gave up.

• After School Cycling Club

  Thu 20 Mar 2025

  It was fun in the sun this week as 9 pupils ranging from year 2 all the way to year 10 accessed cycling club after school on Thursday. 

   

  A reminder the club will run every Thursday after school until Easter and may extend into summer half term 1 TBC. All pupils welcome from primary and secondary. 3.30 pick up at school. 

  

• Inter House Football

  Wed 19 Mar 2025

  The weather warmed up just in time for a sun soaked inter house football day this week.  It was a fantastic atmosphere with all pupils taking part across years 7-11 and in addition some year 6s stepped up to play with KS3.  Our values of confidence, ambition, resilience, emotional literacy, effective communication & tolerance were all displayed consistently and it was fantastic to see the teamwork and sense of pride towards their houses shown by all pupils. 

   

  Pegasus took the honours in both the KS3 and KS4 competitions but Phoenix still lead the way in the overall inter-house sports rankings. 

  

• Halo Leisure Cycle Track

  Fri 28 Feb 2025

  A small group of our cycling well-being pupils were fortunate enough to be treated to an unexpected test ride on one of Halo Leisure's Ice Bikes,  a recumbent bike designed to allow people with a disability or someone who is recovering from injury to exercise their leg and glute muscles with less strain. 

   

  A big thank you to the team at Halo Leisure Cycle Track for allowing our pupils to try it. 

   

  

• Bumps and Burns First Aid Training

  Wed 26 Feb 2025

  Today we welcomed Nick from Bumps and Burns First Aid Training, a company that offer first aid, fire safety and other health and safety training.  He has kindly volunteered his time to help the ASDAN Sport & Fitness group work towards one of their modules by completing a basic first aid qualification. Nick, who is also a firefighter and a former secondary school teacher was really impressed with the engagement and knowledge shown by the pupils, meaning he was able to cover more than initially planned. A big thank you to Nick for his time today passing on his expertise to enable our pupils to feel more comfortable with what to do in a medical emergency and how they might respond to and treat some basic sports injuries. 

  

• Well done to Incredibles

  Fri 14 Feb 2025

  Well done to Incredibles this week finishing their gymnastics unit with an introduction to vaulting. It was fantastic to see the progress made by pupils and their desire to show ambition and confidence to push themselves and the resilience to keep trying over and over again until they made it. In a previous lesson all pupils achieved their bronze floor award and most pupils attempted a number of more complex silver award shapes. Well done. 

  

• Inter House Dodgeball

  Sun 02 Feb 2025

  Pupils have been busy competing in inter house dodgeball this week with Phoenix taking the honours in Lower Key Stage 2, Key Stage 3 and Key stage 4 and Griffin winning the upper key stage 2 competition. Perhaps more importantly though, the games were played in a fantastic atmosphere where pupils displayed sportsmanship and a real camaraderie for their team.  Next half term we will have similar competitions in football, as well as inter house competitions in table tennis and sports hall athletics before the end of term.
