Welcome from the CEO

CEO

CEOWelcome to our website, where you’ll find information about our values, our history, and the impact we make every day in the lives of our students, alongside the brilliant staff who make it all happen.

As Chief Executive of Brooke Weston Trust, I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to you.

Brooke Weston Trust is a family of over 9,000 students and 1,200 staff across six primary and six secondary schools in North Northamptonshire and North Cambridgeshire. Many of our schools serve communities that have historically faced significant disadvantage, and most joined us as sponsor academies or free schools in need of support. We are proud that all of our schools are now rated good or outstanding, some for the first time in their history, demonstrating the transformational commitment of our staff and leaders. From pre-school to sixth form, we are united in our mission to give every young person the knowledge, confidence and character they need to thrive — what we call “tickets for life”.

Our story began with the opening of Brooke City Technology College in 1991, inspired by Hugh de Capell Brooke’s vision and determination to bring better educational opportunities to Corby. Eighteen months later, with the support of the Weston family, it became Brooke Weston City Technology College, and is known today as Brooke Weston Academy. The success of this pioneering school laid the foundations for the Brooke Weston Trust. The partnership between the de Capell Brooke and Weston families has continued to guide our development and strengthen our commitment to excellence and social impact.

Thank you for visiting our website. I invite you to explore further and discover more about our history, our vision, and the exceptional opportunities we offer to both students and staff.
