About The Brooksbank School
The Brooksbank School is a secondary school in Elland, Calderdale, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 1,470 pupils aged 11 to 18 attend the school. The school's average Attainment 8 score in the latest GCSE results was 50.7 — above the national average (national average: 46). Its Attainment 8 score has risen by 2.9 points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 26% of secondary schools nationally.
56% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, above the national average of about 45%. 76% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made The Brooksbank School their first choice was offered one of its 255 Year 7 places. Overall pupil absence was 8.5%. There are about 19.1 pupils per teacher. The Brooksbank School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
