Background information about our school

Brookside is a community primary co-educational day school for children from the ages of four to eleven years old and is part of Stockport Children and Young People’s Directorate. It is a happy, friendly school and you are welcome to visit at any time. The school is situated in its own grounds on the outskirts of High Lane. There are two large playgrounds, excellent playing fields and gardens surrounding the school. We are extremely proud of our links with the local community and the after school activities that take place here. Our Choir and two Brass bands perform regularly at school and in the local community.


The school dates from1967 and is a modern comfortable building, consisting of seven classrooms, a staff room, an ICT suite and a large hall which is used for assembly meetings, physical education lessons, a dining room and for concerts. Good quality meals are prepared on-site in the kitchen. Administrative rooms are situated on the right of the main entrance and include the offices of the Administrative Officer and Headteacher. The school has well-stocked fiction and non-fiction libraries. Interactive Whiteboard technology is used by all children and is a fantastic learning resource. There is an Interactive Whiteboard in every classroom and also in our new ICT suite.
