Excellent Exam Results
In October, Brooke Weston was recognised as one of a group of a dozen or so outstanding schools that won a national competition in which they demonstrated how they are transforming learning and raising achievement in innovative ways. The award was presented by the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust (SSAT), a body that promotes good practice in secondary schools and encourages the best-performing schools to share information with each other and the wider community, including businesses. The College award was for its curriculum, which allows students to study at a level that closely matches their abilities. This 'individualisation' is a key theme at Brooke Weston as it provides a basis for every student to achieve their maximum potential.
Brooke Weston Governors were invited to join the 'Futures Vision Tour', a bus tour over two weeks that visited all of the winning schools, and our chairman was able to take part in the Southern Tour visiting seven schools and reporting his impressions to the Governors' Meeting in November.
Brooke Weston was one of the schools featured in the Northern Tour and played host to about 50 delegates including school heads, finance officers, Governors and business representatives who enjoyed an afternoon being shown around the College by the students and seeing first-hand how the concept of individual learning is put into practice in the classroom.
