About Brookvale Groby Learning Campus
The Brookvale Groby Learning Campus has been through a period of significant change having converted to a multi academy trust in 2017 and a merger to an 11-19 school from September 2019. Our founding schools were Brookvale High School, an ‘outstanding’ 11-14 high school, and Groby Community College a 14-19 upper school graded as ‘good with outstanding features’. Now, as a united campus, we meet the educational needs of over 1500 students with over 300 of those enrolled in our Post 16 provisions.
Our Vision is “Valuing Everyone, Achieving Excellence”, and we are committed to supporting the professional learning of all our staff

‘I think the best thing about Brookvale Groby Learning Campus is the facilities in every department and the opportunities that are given such as trips and extracurricular sports activities. I have also felt that I’ve been welcomed to this school with so much support from my form tutor and teachers.’
- Year 7 student (June 2019)‘In my opinion, the teachers that teach me are very patient in the sense that if I don’t understand something, they will try their best to ensure that I grasp that piece of knowledge whether it be by a diagram or an acronym etc. Another great thing about the school is that we have so many facilities so that we can excel in whatever we may want to do so.’
- Year 10 student (June 2019)‘All the teachers I have met tonight know my son very well. I think all of them are interested and care about his progress.’ ‘All 3 of our children have thrived through support that the school has given them, so happy with their education.’ ‘The school is excellent, helping my child progress and I would recommend it.’
- Written comments from parents following Year 11 Progress Evening (2019)'My child goes in happy and comes home happy and enjoys his day to day school life.’ ‘It has the caring element of a small school. Children are pushed to achieve targets in a positive way.’ ‘The staff at this parents evening have blown me away with their friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable manner.’
- Written comments from parents following Year 8 Progress Evening (2019)‘I would just like to say thank you for the time spent with me today on my tour of the campus, and state how impressed I was with the school. There seems to be a very calm, relaxed and organised approach to how the school operates, and I believe that obviously shows in the way your students behave’.
- Extract taken from email correspondence, following a tour of the school by a prospective parent‘I have thoroughly enjoyed my time on campus. It has been a real pleasure working with staff who are always friendly, extremely supportive and willing to share ideas and knowledge. I have really appreciated having a senior leadership team which is so warm towards its staff and open to their comments and new ideas. The children I have taught have made me smile, laugh and cry! I will miss my relationship with them and that buzz you get from seeing them progress. It does, however, give me great satisfaction to think that I have put into place schemes of work for pupils and created learning opportunities for them which should continue even after I have left. I am sad to leave a post which I still love. Once more, thank you for all of your support and kindness.’
