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, a resource base classroom, 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 School Business Manager 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 ICT suite.

There were 157 children on roll in March 2011.

A pre-school group is run at school each day (Nursery classes)

A before and after school care club runs daily (Playworx)

Both groups are housed in a dedicated building in the school grounds.

There is a thriving, weekly stay-and-play session for babies and toddlers.

There are several lunchtime and after school clubs, children are encouraged to attend.

We issue a weekly newsletter to parents (Brookside Bugle) to keep everyone informed about our curriculum and school events.
