History

The Brakenhale School was formerly a community school[3] that established in 1958 as Borough Green City Secondary School.[4] It became an academy as part of the Greenshaw Learning Trust in April 2016.[5]

House system

The school implemented a house system in 2018 consisting of four houses which are named after the local community and represented by a colour. The names were chosen from suggestions submitted by the students and staff; they are each allocated to a house. Students receive a badge which represents the house they are in, a planner in their house colour, and attend house assemblies every half-term. The houses are:[6]

  • Farley — blue
  • Swinley — red
  • Temple — green
  • Jennetts — yellow
