Mrs M. Allan, Head Teacher
It is an absolute privilege to lead what is a very special school community and although in my tenth year of Headship, the anticipation and optimism for what lies ahead still fires the passion and provides the driving force which underpin our continuing journey of school improvement.
Despite the negative press that Headship appears to attract, there is no doubt in my mind that I have the best job in the world. With responsibility for the strategic direction and continuing development of Brookfield I have a central part to play in our children’s lives; the quality of their learning experiences, the opportunities available to them and the relationships which help shape the young adults they become. How many other professions allow us to create a living legacy.
Key to our increasing success are the aspirations, talents and abilities of our youngsters and the skills, qualities and absolute commitment of our staff team and governors; I am fortunate to have their full support so that together we can achieve the best possible outcomes for our young people.

Mr S. Parkes, Deputy Head Teacher
I joined Brookfield in September 2013 as Deputy Head following a career spanning more than 20 years in 5 different schools.
My subject specialisms are Science, Maths with a dash of PE and I have previously been an Assistant Head, Head of Science and an Advanced Skills teacher. I spent the majority of my career teaching in Southampton schools and also have had the privilege of working across schools to support Science education across the city.
I have three children of my own who, inadvertently have given me the best training for my role and ensure I place children at the centre of all that I do. I am passionate about sport but was cruelly forced into early retirement from football at the tender age of 39!
At Brookfield I lead on assessment, behaviour and attendance which offer me a breadth of interest that ensures that I never get bored! It is a pleasure to work with the students at Brookfield who are incredibly resourceful, confident and uplifting children. Brookfield is an excellent school and it is well on the way to being the flagship school in Hampshire because we have outstanding students and staff who are all pulling together to aspire, act and achieve.

Mr P. Pease, Deputy Head Teacher
I joined Brookfield in 2012 as a Director of Learning with line management responsibilities for Maths and Science, after a number of years as Head of Maths in another Hampshire School.
It has been a great pleasure to be a part of Brookfield School for the last 5 years, and see so many ambitious and hard-working students be successful and develop as well-rounded members of the community.
This year (academic year 2018-19), as I take up the post of Acting Deputy Head responsible for student assessment, progress and attainment, I look forward to working more closely with staff to build on the immense success of our recent year 11 students.
