Brooke Weston Trust

Don't miss the amazing pupils at Thrapston Primary School talking about their excitement for the World Cup on ITV Anglia tonight at 6pm ⚽❤️

A fantastic start to this year’s Springboard Women’s Development Programme at the BWT Primary Training Hub! 🌟

On 9th June, eleven colleagues began their journey towards feeling more empowered and developing a clearer sense of direction in both their personal and professional lives.

The group was warmly welcomed by course facilitator Lucy Steele and inspired by guest speaker Fran Dunn, who shared her story of becoming the first person in her family to pursue higher education, driven by determination, ambition and a desire to build a successful career.

We look forward to following their progress throughout the programme and welcoming everyone back for session two this week!

Small acts of kindness can make a big difference ✨🤝

In our latest case study, read how our schools are building connections across generations and making a real difference 👇

Featuring Beanfield Primary School, Brooke Weston Academy, Thrapston Primary School and Corby Business Academy

This , we are celebrating the many people across Brooke Weston Trust who give their time, skills and expertise to support our schools and communities.

From the more than 100 trustees and governors, who help shape the strategic direction of our schools, to the students and staff who volunteer to support others, these contributions bring our value of Contribute to Society to life every day.

For example, at Corby Technical School, Sixth Form Reading Buddies volunteer their time to help younger students develop their reading skills and confidence, while at Kettering Science Academy, students have contributed an incredible 104 hours of volunteering through the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.

Thank you to everyone who gives their time to make a difference in our school communities.

It's wonderful to see families at Beanfield Primary School connecting with a range of local SEND support services during this week's SEND Coffee Morning.

Events like these play an important role in strengthening connections between schools, families and support services, ensuring our young people can access the help they need to thrive.
