# Welcome

## Welcome to Brookfields

Brookfields is a primary special academy situated in Halton. The school is part of the Shaw Education Trust. Our school consists of 2 sites; in Runcorn  (lower school) and Widnes (upper school).  In Runcorn we share a site with Hallwood Park Primary School, a school also in the Shaw Education Trust, this has been a new development from September 2024.Our school provides a quality, inclusive and specialist education for pupils with severe and complex learning difficulties and autistic spectrum disorders.

We are extremely proud of our school and are committed to providing the very best possible education for all of our children and young people. We believe in ensuring every child has the opportunity to learn and be successful, by providing them with an exciting and personalised curriculum, committed highly skilled staff and by securing strong partnerships with families and the wider community.

We value the contributions and achievements of all of our pupils and celebrate every small step they make in their time with us. We are dedicated in our belief, that by working together, we can secure a better future for all of our children and that working together with families is vital if we are to achieve the best learning outcomes for each pupil and also the vision, aims and ethos of the school.
