Overview
Overview
A small, mixed-age setting gives Brooke House Day School room to shape learning around pupils aged 5 to 16. The Cosby school is distinct from Brooke House College in Market Harborough: it has no boarding or sixth form and works from two premises on Croft Road, including 31 Croft Road.
The curriculum is broad and carefully sequenced for mixed-age classes, with adaptations for pupils who have significant learning needs. Year 9 art and design includes Henry Moore, Years 7 and 8 read Wilfred Owen, and younger pupils make pizzas in food technology. Reading, writing and mathematics move through manageable steps, with understanding checked and gaps addressed.
Pastoral care is closely tied to that academic work. Individual needs include social, emotional and mental-health needs, and support can involve speech and language therapists or mental-health specialists. Warm staff-pupil relationships, established routines and a strong sense of safety help pupils feel valued and welcome.
Outdoor activities, visits, careers events and weekly clubs such as chess, strategy games and environmental activities broaden the week. The Christmas production includes performers, dancers, costume and set designers; older pupils receive careers guidance and attend national careers fairs. A February 2026 inspection confirmed that independent-school and safeguarding standards were met.
