Our School

Brookland Junior School is a non-denominational community junior school for girls and boys between the ages of 7 and 11, maintained by the London Borough of Barnet. We are situated on the northern edge of Hampstead Garden Suburb in a residential area. Most pupils attend Brookland Infant School on the same site. The two schools have strong links to ensure that our children’s emotional, social and educational development progresses smoothly from 4-11. We have four year groups, with 3 classes of 30 in each year. 
 
The children benefit from a spacious, green setting which is screened from houses and roads. There is a large field and two playgrounds. We have excellent facilities and a small covered and heated swimming pool (April-October). 
 
Children achieve and progress very well and benefit from and enjoy a wide range of learning opportunities, enhanced by a variety of exciting events, activities and clubs. We have the advantage of children who share traditions from many cultures and countries.  We value and celebrate our similarities and differences. Brookland is a very caring community where each individual is respected and valued.
