Every September the 6^th form get together on Macmillan Coffee Morning to help raise money for cancer… and prove we can actually cook!

This year was no different with Sixth Formers really proving their culinary skills; from Beth Dawe’s Terry’s Chocolate Orange Cake to a simply huge chocolate cake, as well as all the fantastic efforts made by everyone else. It was a surprise there was any cake left for the school to eat after the staff and Sixth Formers were let loose on the cakes at break. 

So, due to the massive efforts put towards Macmillan Coffee Morning, £320 was raised just from the cake stall, and then Barclays very generously doubled the amount, bringing the total to £640!  

It’s fantastic to know that our school and 6^th form community is so ready to put so much effort towards helping a greater cause.

William Brookes School would like to invite parents and carers of Year 6 pupils to our Open Days.

Our Open Evening runs from 7 until 9p.m. on Wednesday 22^nd October, whilst our Open Morning starts at 9.30a.m. and runs until 12 Noon on Friday 24^th October.

Both events will be most informative whilst allowing you to experience at first hand the school’s facilities; talk to students and staff and enjoy the positive atmosphere we share at William Brookes. 

Thanks to the fundraising efforts of parents, students, staff and other parties connected with the school, William Brookes has proudly taken receipt of its new 17 seat minibus. 

Many students involved in sports fixtures, performing arts, school visits and college courses from across the school will benefit from its use over the coming years.

Mr Renwick, Co-Head, is joined by pupils James, Chelsea and Francesca as Simon Griffin from Greenhous hands over the keys to the new vehicle.
