About me

Miss Stringer
Principal, Brooke Weston Academy
Welcome to your new school I look forward to welcoming you to
the Brooke Weston Academy family in
September 2014. I am sure that you are
very excited and enthusiastic about the
challenge which lies ahead.
At Brooke Weston Academy, we
understand that beginning at your
secondary school is a huge change for
you. No doubt you will be extremely
excited and eager, but will also have
some concerns about joining Brooke
Weston Academy.
This booklet has been designed to give
you some important information that
will be helpful to you before you join
us in September. There is information
about the school day, uniform and
equipment you will need. In addition
there are also some questions that
you may want to be answered. If
this booklet doesn’t answer your
questions, then your tutor at Brooke
Weston Academy will be ready to help
and guide you when you arrive.
At Brooke Weston Academy we work
very hard to educate, challenge,
socialise and support our students to
achieve their full potential. I hope that
you will make the very best of all the
opportunities that we have to offer
you.
I am very much looking forward to
welcoming you to Brooke Weston
Academy.
