Brocklewood Primary School is an exciting place to work with a large staff of friendly and hardworking people who are dedicated to making a difference to the lives of children and families from one of the most deprived areas in Nottingham.
The school is part of Transform Trust, a group of schools where we share good practice, ideas and workload and are willing to give new ideas a go. We have access to high quality CPD for staff at all levels, including leadership development and coaching.
The school was inspected in March 2023 and remains “good” in all areas. This is an exciting time to join our forward-thinking team and to help shape further improvements beyond good.
Brocklewood staff are a strong team. They frequently learn from each other when they listen to the ‘expert in the room’. Workload is well-managed. Staff are not asked to do something without a well-researched reason.
