School site

Brodetsky has an exceptionally large school site with purpose built accommodation. Benefiting from when there were two schools on the site, Brodetsky Primary School has two halls: the Silman Hall and and Brodetsky Hall. Accommodation is single storey but the school is on different levels with a lift to enable disabled access. In addition to classrooms, the school has separate KS1 and KS2 libraries, an art room, a stage, ICT suite and small group rooms.

The Brodetsky campus includes an exceptional nursery and early years building. This houses both the Brodetsky Nursery and Deborah Taylor Nursery. The early years building has its own designated outdoor area which is used to enhance all areas of learning.

Simon Camby (Headteacher): “Visits to the school are warmly welcomed – we look forward to meeting you.”
