Staff and pupils at Compass Primary Academy, which is part of Brooke Weston Trust are celebrating their newly announced ‘Good’ Ofsted rating this week. The school’s early years provision in particular was held up as ‘Outstanding’.
Last week, 22 leaders from across the Trust gathered to celebrate completing the BWT Leadership Academy programme.
Joining Brooke Weston Trust as Head of Catering in 2022, Theresa Jackson brought with her over two decades of senior catering leadership experience.
With a lifelong passion and natural affinity for cooking, her aim is to provide students in our primary and secondary schools with a love and appreciation for food by creating positive “food memories”.
Part of this appreciation includes carefully considering the impact of where our food comes from and the waste we leave behind once we’ve finished with it.
With the ever-growing culture shift towards minimising our impact on the planet, Theresa is utilising her passion for sustainability within the catering provision across the Trust.
Tracy joins our Trust in a brand new role as ‘People Business Partner’, as we enter the next phase of our change plans and development of our CORE team, enhancing and enabling our professional approach.
We caught up with her to find out more about our new colleague…
As the demands of modern education continue to grow, here at Brooke Weston Trust, we are taking proactive steps to reduce the workload of our employees and support their overall wellbeing, acknowledging that ‘one size does not fit all’.
At BWT we believe in ‘Ambition for all’ and as part of this ethos, we focus on the mental and physical wellbeing of all students across our schools.
We’re proud to be ‘going the extra mile’ with embedding wellbeing into our curriculum, knowing how it supports the development of well-rounded, socially-responsible and ambitious young people.
In this article, we hear from some of our senior specialists, including our Director of Primary School Improvement, Carrie Norman, who explains how the BWT curriculum has been designed to support wellbeing and the impact this is having on children across the Trust.
Peckover Primary School has created a ‘Sharing Shed’ stocked with pre-loved school uniform, including coats and shoes for any of its families who may be finding the current financial situation challenging.
The move from Primary to Secondary school is a significant milestone for children and their families.
At Brooke Weston Trust we take this responsibility very seriously, doing our utmost to make it a positive experience for every child.
We spoke to some Trust students and our own Primary and Secondary Curriculum Leads, Carrie Norman and Adam Crawte, to find out more…

Our new Head of Estates and Sustainability, David McInally, is a qualified and passionate environmentalist. He lives in a fully insulated, low-energy house (that he retro-fitted himself) so his passion for the environment is both professional and personal.
He is qualified in Facilities Management, Health & Safety and Environmental Management and is a chartered member of IOSH.
With this impressive educational background and his 20 years of experience in the public sector, he is well-equipped for his new role here at Brooke Weston Trust.
One of his main ambitions is to make the BWT buildings as sustainable as possible (with optimised running costs) beyond the government target for the public sector to be fully de-carbonised by 2050. The Department of Education has an even more ambitious deadline of 2030 for this very same goal, so David and his teams across the Trust have a huge challenge ahead of them.

Tracy Bryant joined BWT as (interim) Head of People in March, bringing with her over 20 years of HR experience. Keen to share her expertise and passion for people, she’s quickly becoming part of the BWT family and making an impact on our Trust and our schools.
We spoke to her recently, to find out more…
