With 'Outdoor Learning' being one of our key missions at Brackenfield, we recognise that learning outside the classroom gives children contact with the natural world and offers them experiences that are unique to the outdoors, such as direct contact with the weather and the seasons.
We are always pleased to welcome new families to our nurturing nursery. Come along to see what fun we have at Brackenfield Nursery.
Founded in 1977, we have been Harrogate’s Prep school for over 40 years. This is long enough for our school to witness the circle of life! We are now welcoming parents who were once pupils here themselves. Margie Sutcliffe, the founding Head, established a family ethos at Brackenfield that now lives on in perpetuity. More than anything else, children are happy and cared for here; we are an extended family.
This is a happy school where children have access to a wide variety of activities, the staff are caring and enthusiastic and the parents are made to feel part of the school.
Children can swim all year round at Brackenfield School, with the use of an excellent indoor pool close to the school grounds.
We are fortunate to have our own sports field adjacent to Brackenfield, which is surrounded by fields and the wooded areas of Birk Crag.
Physical education is more than just running around a track or kicking a ball. It teaches children key life skills alongside improving their health and wellbeing.
The benefits of physical education are far-reaching, including both increased student physical health and better academic performance
Our Games department ensure that the curriculum consists of age-appropriate activities that support growing minds and bodies. They adapt lessons to make them appropriate for their groups and ensure that they do not overwhelm children with skills or requirements that may be too advanced. At the same time, they know when children are ready to be stretched.
