Welcome to Plantsbrook School

We believe that education is about opportunity and achievement for all. Our core purpose is to ensure that all of our students are given the opportunity to receive a consistently high quality of education.

Post 16

Our ambition for our students to ‘Be the best that you can be’ extends to our Sixth Form, where we welcome applications from outside of our school. Find out more about the support and education on offer from our Post 16 team at our next Open Evening on Thursday 22nd October

Headteacher’s Welcome

 

At Plantsbrook we are fully committed to providing the best opportunities for our students to allow them to develop into fine young people and to achieve success. We want all Plantsbrook students to enjoy school and to make the most of each and every opportunity that comes their way. We want them to enjoy learning and recognise its importance in enabling them “to be the best that they can be”. We want them to feel safe and comfortable in their school community and to feel part of the Plantsbrook family, which is supportive yet challenging. Above all we want them to be committed to hard work, good behaviour and to have respect for each other and themselves.
