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.

🎯👨🍳⚓ **Ready, Steady... Cook!** ⚓👨🍳🎯
Aprons on and timers set, our Year 11 students joined Royal Navy chefs for a thrilling **Ready Steady Cook Challenge**!
Working against the clock, students were tasked with creating impressive dishes while experiencing the intensity, teamwork and excitement of a professional kitchen. From preparing ingredients to plating up under pressure, they demonstrated fantastic creativity, resilience and problem-solving skills throughout the challenge.
A huge thank you to the Royal Navy team for providing such an engaging and inspiring opportunity. The experience gave students a real insight into careers in catering, hospitality and military life, while developing valuable skills that extend far beyond the classroom.
Well done to all of our students for rising to the challenge and producing some fantastic results! 👏🍽️

🏗️ **Changing Room Refurbishment Update** 🏗️
Exciting progress continues at William Brookes School!
As part of our ongoing commitment to improving facilities for our students and community, refurbishment work on the changing rooms is well underway. The transformation is already making a significant difference, creating a modern, welcoming and fit-for-purpose environment for sport and physical activity.
We have also taken some additional photographs of the gym, showcasing both **Phase 1 and Phase 2** of the centre's transformation. It is fantastic to see how far the project has come and to reflect on the investment being made into facilities that will benefit our students for years to come.
Thank you to everyone involved in bringing this exciting vision to life. We look forward to sharing further updates as work progresses.
