William Brookes School

About William Brookes School

William Brookes School joined The 3-18 Education Trust in April 2021.

William Brookes School is a place where students tell us they feel safe and nurtured and have access to extraordinary educational resources. The school’s backdrop is the breath-takingly beautiful Shropshire countryside, and whilst a proportion of our students live in the market town of Much Wenlock, we also serve a uniquely wide catchment area from rural hamlets to the large town of Telford.

We are honoured to be the only Coubertin school in Great Britain and we embrace the rich history of Olympian traditions. Our school values are focused around the Olympic values of respect, excellence and friendship. These are values that our children experience from one another and from staff – these values run through the veins of the school.

As a school, our purpose is to educate. Education is the key to successful futures and provides choices and opportunities for our students. The classroom should be a place of focus and learning, where the magic happens. That said, our school also provides exceptional extra-curricular, enrichment opportunities for our students. An extraordinary number of trips abroad and a wide range of clubs, allow students to flourish in and outside of the classroom. 

Headteacher, Ruth Shaw

Dear WBS Families,

From all the staff at William Brookes School, we would like to wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas. It’s been a wonderfully busy term — as it always seems to be — filled with so many highs that we couldn’t possibly list them all here.

This week has been all about celebrating positive attitudes towards learning and recognising success across our school community.
✨ Tuesday: Subway takeaway rewards
✨ Thursday: ATL inflatable fun
✨ Friday: Our cosy and festive PJ Day — and didn’t everyone look fantastic!
✨ And of course, The Oscars, celebrating outstanding achievements and shining moments from our students.

Thank you for your continued support throughout the term. We hope you all enjoy a restful, joyful Christmas break.

With warmest wishes,
The Senior Staff
Mrs Shaw, Mrs Mincher, Mrs Bennett, Mrs Caldwell, Mr Beard and Mrs Thomas
