We are a school for children with complex learning and communication needs ranging from 3-19yrs. Brackenfield is a research based school and we work with external partners to ensure that our approaches reflect best practice in preparing young people with complex needs for adulthood.

Applicants are encouraged to come and meet the Executive Headteacher and Head of Site and have a tour of the school (please see contact below).
