Dear Parents/Carers,
To encourage children to
respect and value other
members of the school and to
interact positively with the wider
community.
Admissions
Most of our pupils attend Brookland Infant & Nursery School on the same site. Admissions are processed by the
London Borough of Barnet. See their website for more information. There is a separate application process for
the Infant and Junior schools but children from our linked school are given high priority. Parents/carers of
prospective pupils are very welcome to meet with the Head Teacher and visit the school.
Committees
There are a number of committees that form the Governing Body. Each committee has its own role in developing
the school alongside the Head Teacher. The committees include Communications and Community Engagement,
Curriculum, Personnel, Safeguarding and Premises and Health and Safety.
Link Governors
Many governors have links with teaching staff holding subject responsibilities such as English, mathematics,
history and art. The Link Governor and the Subject Leader work together to ensure that the aims on the School
Improvement Plan are met. There are also link governors responsible for areas such as: Special Educational
Needs, English as an Additional Language, Pupil Premium and Safeguarding.
Teaching and learning at Brookland includes a focus on problem solving and thinking skills, using technology to
support learning in other subject areas, working both collaboratively and independently and making learning
both enjoyable and challenging.
Our children are able to reflect on what they have learnt and work with their teachers to set their next learning
targets. Assessment of each childs progress by the class teacher is ongoing. Teachers plan carefully together, giving
much time and thought to all areas of the curriculum to ensure the children experience varied, challenging and
stimulating lessons.
Curriculum
Brookland Junior School offers a broad, balanced and
creative curriculum which reflects and values the
world around us. We meet the National Curriculum
programmes of study by planning and developing our
own Brookland curriculum. This ensures that our
learning and teaching is engaging and relevant to the
needs and interests of our pupils across all subjects.
In addition to the prescribed curriculum, a programme
of Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) education
and activities are provided to support the development
of the whole child and includes work on friendship,
emotions, personal safety, healthy living, sex and
relationship education and citizenship, including British
values. French is also taught across the school.
Equality
Brookland Junior School is strongly committed to ensuring equality
for all its pupils.
We acknowledge the differing needs of our pupils and believe that all
children have the right to attain their full potential.
We monitor our practice to ensure we foster an environment where
all children can achieve their best and have achievements celebrated;
whatever their ability, age, gender, ethnic heritage, social
circumstances or disability.
Our site is accessible to the disabled. Please see the additional
information at the front of this brochure.
Pupil Wellbeing
Anti-Bullying
The schools definition of bullying is: deliberate, hurtful
behaviour by a group or individual against any other group
or individual usually repeated over a period of time.
This may take the form of physical, verbal, emotional or
psychological abuse.
The school uses a variety of anti-bullying sanctions and
strategies and our approach is explained to parents/carers
at the Meet the Teacher evening at the start of each
academic year.
The school takes all incidents of bullying very seriously,
including those over social media, and children are strongly
encouraged to report any bullying to an adult. Any
unsociable or inappropriate behaviour is dealt with under
our Code of Conduct, which can be found on the school
website and in the front of this brochure.

Home/School Links
We place great importance on our relationship with
parents/carers, believing that children learn best
when families and the school work together.
Parents/carers are kept informed throughout the year
about what their children are learning and there are many
opportunities for home/school liaison, including a Meet
the Teacher evening at the beginning of the year and
regular Parent Consultations. The Head Teacher and class
teachers are happy to meet with parents/carers by
appointment at other times. The Head Teacher is also
available on an open door basis whenever possible.
Reporting to Parents/Carers
Full written reports are sent out to parents/carers towards the end of the academic year and each child makes a
contribution to the report. For each subject there are detailed comments about progress, achievement and effort
and also areas for future development. Parents/carers are invited to return a comment slip and/or make an
appointment with the class teacher to discuss the report.
For Year 6 the results of their statutory end of Key Stage Standard Attainment Tests (SATs) and a Teacher
Assessment level in English, Mathematics and Science are included in the report. A copy of the schools most
recent SAT results and Teacher Assessments can be found in the pocket at the front of this brochure.
