  • Year 12 Meet the Tutor

    Published 14/09/23

    To further support your child’s transition into the sixth form we will be hosting a Meet the Tutor in school on Tuesday 19th September from 4.30pm to 5.30pm. The event will start with a short presentation on the sixth form, followed by the opportunity to meet your child’s tutor. Please confirm your attendance via Wisepay.

    Starting any new course, and for some of our students a new school, can be a little overwhelming at first; however, we have a variety of support systems in place to ensure your child quickly feels part of the sixth form community.

  • Corby Technical School students look forward to next steps after excellent GCSE results

    Published 25/08/23

    There was a buzz of excitement at Corby Technical School today, as students celebrated their GCSE results and looked forward to their further education plans.

    The students were amongst the first since Covid-19, to sit their GCSEs under proper exam conditions.

    Angela Reynolds, Principal at Corby Technical School, said: “I am so proud of each of our students today who have achieved some fantastic results that are richly deserved.

    “These achievements are a true testament to the remarkable work ethic and dedication displayed by our students and staff. Celebrations were rightly in order, and I was delighted to be a part of them this morning.

    “It is always a joy to witness the growth of students during their time with us, and I look forward to working with many of our students as they join our Sixth Form. Thanks also go out to the families of our students, who work closely with the school to support our young people in their studies throughout their time with us” she added.

    Students were supported by staff to make decisions on their next steps – many will join the sixth form, and others are pursuing apprenticeships including Bosch and Formula One Autocentres.

    Mrs. Reynolds added: “Our year 11 students have been wonderful role models for our younger students, and we continue with setting high aspirations for our next cohort, as they move into the final year of their GCSEs.

    “Finally, I’d like to thank our fantastic teachers and school staff, who have supported and motivated our students throughout.”

    Andy Burns, Chief Education Officer (Secondary) at Brooke Weston Trust said: “I’m delighted for our students and their families, as they celebrate today. These GCSE results are a testament to the commitment they’ve put in over the last two years, supported brilliantly as always, by our wonderful staff across the Trust. They embody our core value of ‘’Ambition For All’ and I am immensely proud of them.

    “Given the significant disruption to learning that this year group has faced (since starting secondary school), these achievements are particularly impressive, and we should take a moment to recognise this within this context.”

    The Corby Technical School Sixth Form provision has recently been expanded to accommodate a greater range of options for its students.

  • Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update

    Published 25/02/20

    12 March 2020

    Brooke Weston Trust schools are monitoring the current situation regarding Covid-19 contingency planning carefully and seeking advice from relevant authorities.

    Further information will be published tomorrow in light of any decisions taken by Government this afternoon. All further communications will be published via our school websites.

     

    5 March 2020

    Dear Parents/Carers,

    We continue to monitor and follow the advice of Public Health England in relation to the COVID-19 virus. Personal hygiene continues to be promoted as the most important way we can tackle COVID-19, especially washing hands more. We will continue to promote this in school. Please can you discuss the importance of this with your child at home to encourage thorough and frequent hand washing to help prevent the spread of all respiratory viruses.

    There are general principles anyone can follow to help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses, including:

    • Washing your hands often - with soap and water, or use alcohol sanitiser if handwashing facilities are not available. This is particularly important after taking public transport.
    • Covering your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throwing the tissue in a bin. See Catch it, Bin it, Kill it
    • Pupils, students, staff and visitors should wash their hands:
      • before leaving home
      • on arrival at school
      • after using the toilet
      • at breaks and after sporting activities
      • before food preparation
      • before eating any food, including snacks
      • before leaving school
    • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands

    Thank you for continuing to work with us to safeguard the health of our communities.

     

    26 February 2020

    Dear Parents/Carers,

    Please be reassured that our school is following the guidance set out by Public Health England (PHE) regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19). We strongly recommend that all parents/carers and students familiarise themselves with the guidance. We have instructed all our staff to do likewise. Our aim is that all members of our school communities are well informed and aware how to slow the spread of germs.

    The government stance remains that you should not be unduly worried about the possibility of your children catching Coronavirus. There is no reason why your children should not continue to attend their school as normal. However we would particularly urge you to read the Government advice regarding travellers returning to the UK.

    Latest Public Health England Guidance

    The latest guidance from Public Health England can be accessed through this link (click here).

    Latest NHS information

    The latest NHS information about how you can reduce the possible spread of infection can be found below, please check regularly for updates:

    Brooke Weston Trust will continue to monitor the situation and communicate any further advice that is released to schools. We understand you may have questions or concerns at this time, so please do not hesitate to contact us if you wish. Thank you for working with us to safeguard the health of our communities.

    Best wishes

    Angela Reynolds, Principal
