Congratulations to our Year 7 Dodgeball teams who competed in a Dodgeball tournament at Corby Technical School and succeed in coming first and second respectively.

More than 30 promising rugby players from our Trust secondary schools attended their first training session as members of the newly-formed Trust elite rugby squad.

Brooke Weston’s Principal, Mr Peter Kirkbride and Director of Education Miss Trish Stringer have been getting into the festive spirit by helping the restaurant team serve more than 1,100 turkey dinners over the past two days, donning Christmas hats and attire to dish out the festive fare.

Miss Trish Stringer, Director of Education for the Brooke Weston Trust, is retiring after 33 years in the profession, 27 of which have been with the Trust. Her determination to put students at the heart of all decision making is an approach which has served her well throughout her career.

A group of prospective Cambridge and Oxford students travelled to London to meet with one of Brooke Weston Academy’s trustees, Mr Heneage Stevenson who offered help and advice ahead of their university interviews.

Zane Doe and Tanya Walker, from Tesco’s superstore in Corby, demonstrated fish filleting and brought along fresh mackerel so that food technology students could try the techniques themselves.
