  • Celebrating National School Sports Week: Putting health, happiness, and ambition at the heart of our Trust

    Published 19/06/25

    At the heart of Brooke Weston Trust is a clear commitment to ensuring our students are supported to fully achieve their potential and live rewarding lives. 

    We strive to ensure that every child, regardless of background or ability, can thrive physically, emotionally, and academically. High-quality physical education plays a vital role in making this a reality.

    More than just games and competition, school sport plays a vital role in bringing our values of Ambition For All and Excellent Teaching and Support to life. It builds confidence, promotes inclusion, and helps every child discover what they’re capable of, both inside and outside the classroom.

    We aim for the highest standards in all we do, and PE is no exception. This National School Sports Week, we’re proud to celebrate how our schools are bringing this vision to life by creating environments where every student can enjoy, succeed, and grow through sport.
