It is with great sadness that the Trustees of the Brooke Weston Trust announce the passing of Hugh de Capell Brooke. Hugh was the inspiration behind the foundation of Brooke Weston City Technology College (now Brooke Weston Academy) and a great believer in young people's ability to defy the odds. Hugh was passionate about providing high quality state funded education and was a true pioneer in his commitment to providing the best possible opportunities for the young people of Corby and Kettering. He was a great, active and generous supporter of the work of the Brooke Weston Trust from the very start and will be sadly missed. Our thoughts and condolences are with his wife and family at this difficult time.
