About Gretton Primary Academy

Gretton is a small village school, which has a strong family feel. We are fortunate to have fantastic children and wonderfully supportive parents who enjoy getting involved with the life of the school. Gretton joined the Brooke Weston Trust in September 2012 and as such it now benefits from being part of a larger, extremely successful academic organisation and has access to facilities and opportunities beyond its normal scope, without losing its village identity. 

The school has a creative curriculum which aims to inspire a love of learning and to develop children as self-motivated, independent learners. We actively promote engaging, hands-on learning across the curriculum and also promote scientific enquiry and investigation. 

Children at Gretton benefit from the outstanding teaching practice of our team alongside a welcoming open door policy in which parents are encouraged to discuss any concerns with their child's teacher on an informal basis. 

We are proud to be part of Brooke Weston Trust, who have grown into a family of 10 primary and secondary schools throughout the East Midlands, united by our mission and values. More than 7,000 students between the ages of 3-18 are now educated in a Brooke Weston Trust school, supported by more than 1000 passionate members of staff. 

The Brooke Weston Trust Way 

Our Trust was formed more than 25 years ago with a simple and clear mission – to transform educational performance in all of our communities.  

Working in some of the most challenging contexts, we improve our students’ achievements by making long term commitments to the community and championing new approaches to improve the life chances for young people. 

Our members of staff are essential to realising this vision, and a happy, motivated and supported team will deliver the best possible experiences for our young people. 

We place great emphasis on creating a supportive and collaborative working environment in all our schools, where all staff can share best practice through our colleague networks, as well as being able to access a range of first-class professional development opportunities through our Brooke Weston Teaching School Alliance.
