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.

FAO of Year 11
Dear WBS Families,
We are pleased to invite all Year 11 students and their families to our GCSE Final Preparation Evening, taking place on Monday 13th April from 5.30pm to 6.30pm. This important event is designed to equip students with the strategies, subject knowledge and confidence they need as they enter the final month before their GCSE examinations.
Access to the Department for Education – Education Record App
During the evening, Mr Beard will ensure that all students are supported in accessing the Department for Education’s Education Record app. From summer 2026, this app will allow Year 11 students across England to access their GCSE results digitally for the first time, directly on their mobile devices.
This new system will:
• Reduce reliance on paper certificates that can be lost or damaged
• Speed up enrolment into colleges and post 16 providers
• Reduce unnecessary paperwork for schools and colleges
• Support more secure, modern record keeping
To help the evening run smoothly, we ask that students download the app onto their phones in advance, where possible.
The iPhone download link is available here:

Senior Curriculum Leaders for our core subjects will deliver practical, high impact guidance to support students in their final preparations:
• English – Mr Scrivens, Senior Curriculum Leader

Each leader will share subject specific advice, revision priorities and key messages to help students maximise their success in the final weeks before examinations.
📍 London Breakout Space
5.50pm – 6.30pm
Following the presentation, families are invited to visit a range of support stations offering personalised guidance and practical revision strategies.
Revision Technique and Support Stalls
• English Revision Strategies – Mrs R Shaw
• Flashcards for Effective Recall – Mrs G Thomas
• The Blurting Technique for Memory Boosting – Mrs C Mincher
• Using Exam Papers and Mark Schemes Effectively – Mr S Beard
• Maximising Exam Concessions – Ms R Bennett
Subject Specific Support Middle Leaders from across the curriculum will also be available to provide tailored advice, answer questions and offer final revision guidance in their subject areas.
This evening is an excellent opportunity for students and families to feel fully supported as we enter the final stretch before exams. We strongly encourage all Year 11 students to attend with a parent or carer.
Year 11 Science Revision Session (Microsoft Teams)
In addition, on Tuesday 31st March, from 9.30am to 11.30am, a Science revision session will be delivered via Microsoft Teams, led by Mrs Robertson. The online format will enable as many students as possible to attend.
The session will focus on fundamental concepts that all Year 11 students will encounter across both Higher and Foundation tiers, including:
• Photosynthesis
• Organic Chemistry
• Chemical Calculations
• The Electromagnetic Spectrum
We strongly encourage all Year 11 students to attend, as the content will support understanding across a wide range of exam questions.
When joining the session, students are asked to keep their camera switched off and their microphone muted. Questions and comments should be submitted using the chat function, which will be monitored throughout.
