About Brackenfield School
Selecting the right school for your child is a very big decision, particularly when making that choice at birth. We look at each child s unique strengths, abilities, and learning style to advise you on next steps, whether this be in independent or state education. Brackenfield is unique in Harrogate in that it is not directly associated with any senior school and pupils leaving Year 6 move on to a mix of independent and state secondary schools.
