Buildings and FacilitiesPlantsbrook has been identified as one of the 261 schools nationally in the Priority Schools Building Programme. This means we will receive significant funding in the next 5 years to enable us to rebuild the school. In the meantime, despite current constraints, we strive to improve teaching and learning facilities in school. In recent years considerable capital investment has been made to create additional facilities and upgrade existing rooms In recent years, we have built:• additional 4 science labs•Refurbished Cromwell hall•Refurbished 3 art rooms•Refurbished boys and girls gym•Refurbished boys and girls toilets•Refurbished the dining room

Our pupil to computer ratio is 1:1.7, much higher than the national average

We spend thousands of pounds a year on training and continuous professional development of our staff of highly qualified specialists. We also hold the ‘investor in people’ award which confirms that staff training and performance is managed effectively.‘teachers work hard and know every child as an individual. Teaching quality is rarely less than good and much is outstanding. Little time is wasted in lessons and students tangibly enjoy coming to the school to learn’
