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.

School Leaver Roadshows
Hello,
As you have now started Year 11, we want to ensure you make an informed decision about what happens when you leave school. The choices available to you include full-time education, apprenticeships, and employment. The range of education and training is vast and, as well as choosing subjects, possible careers, and university routes, you also need to understand the levels and types of qualifications on offer.
To help you navigate your many options, we are organising two one-stop shop opportunities to explore your options (including travel and financial information) for when you leave school. This is the tenth year we have provided events of this kind and 75% of previous attendees have rated them either “Very” or “Extremely” useful.
Cineworld, Shrewsbury | Monday 21 September 4.00-7.30pm
Book at shrews.co/SLRSY
voco by IHG, Telford | Saturday 26 September 9.30am-12.00noon
Book at shrews.co/SLRTF
These will both have with stands and representatives from local colleges, sixth forms and other training providers available to discuss what they can offer you after school. There will also be the opportunity to attend a presentation around all the options open to you when you leave school including A levels, T Levels, vocational courses and apprenticeships.
Places are offered via timed arrival, and you and a guest are invited to book a suitable slot. These are available on a first-come-first-served basis through the booking links above. This event is always very popular and to ensure as many school leavers can access it as possible, we will be restricting guest numbers to one per pupil to make sure we have enough space for you to speak to everybody. If there is a specific reason you need a further person accompanying you, please get in contact using the email address below.
Booking will be open whilst places remain available, but please do book early as these are very popular! Please email events@shrewsbury.ac.uk for assistance.
Shrewsbury College School Visits
In addition to these events, teams from Shrewsbury College will be visiting schools throughout Year 11, providing information and support, and dates of Open Events and Taster activities.
I hope you will be able to join us and look forward to welcoming you very soon.
Yours sincerely.
