School Traditions
Each year, the school holds it annual sports day at Corby Triangle near Rockingham where it displays almost all popular track and field disciplines. Sport's day also includes the final of the inter-tutor Tug of War competition. Sports Day is highly popular for students, and each tutor group in a year competes against each other to gain the most points and win the trophy. Tutor groups also participate in inter-tutor football and rounders/netball each year.
Brooke Weston holds an annual prizegiving in September of each year, celebrating the achievements of the students for the previous academic year. Prizes are awarded in each year for all subjects, student of the year, and also recognition for academic success in GCSE and A Level.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or traditions:
“In truth, the legitimate contention is, not of one age or school of literary art against another, but of all successive schools alike, against the stupidity which is dead to the substance, and the vulgarity which is dead to form.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“And all the great traditions of the Past
They saw reflected in the coming time.
And thus forever with reverted look
The mystic volume of the world they read,
Spelling it backward, like a Hebrew book,
Till life became a Legend of the Dead.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
