About Brookfield…• Brookfield is located in the ‘Western Wards’

area of Fareham, a small town between the cities of Portsmouth and Southampton.

About Brookfield…• Brookfield serves five feeder schools each within a

relatively short distance of the school.  • Over recent years we have seen rapid growth and the

school is now one of the largest co-educational comprehensive schools in Hampshire. 

• There are 5 year groups, covering the age range from 11 – 16, with an intake of about 350 per group.– There are currently about 1753 students on roll. – Each year group is currently split into 13 tutor groups.– 2010 will see a change in this when the school switches to a

vertical tutor system.
