Brian Jackson College

 

Brian Jackson College of Open Learning (formerly BJ cool) is an Independent School for young people aged 14-16.

Brian Jackson College aims to meet the needs of students who have struggled in schools and may have Social, Emotional and Behavioural difficulties. These difficulties may have led to the students becoming disengaged with the education system and needing an alternative approach to motivate them to re-engage with their education and learning.


Every Child Matters

As part of their study at Brian Jackson College students are required to undertake a range of activities including working on ICT skills, Numeracy & literacy skills, life skills, PSHCE, Art & Design and Science.
 

Brian Jackson College also promotes a healthy life style by encouraging students to take part in sports and leisure activities.

We meet the 5 Every Child matters outcomes by encouraging the students to:

*Stay Safe * Be Healthy * Enjoy and achieve *Make a positive Contribution *Achieve economic well being
