Corby Business Academy

We, at Corby Business Academy, work hard to ensure that our students have the best teaching and learning, and a full range of enrichment activities that run alongside academic studies.

We are proud of the exceptional facilities on offer at Corby Business Academy and we are valued members of the Brooke Weston Trust. This means we have the support of a well-established organisation that educates thousands of students in Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire. Our students attend inter-Trust activities, such as educational visits and sports competitions.

Classroom experiences are supplemented by educational trips and visits that broaden knowledge of their subject areas and equip students for life beyond the Academy. Our role as educators is to ensure that students have the best possible learning and life experiences that nurture both their academic qualities and enable the development of their unique personalities. We take a similar philosophy for our staff; support starts with trainee teachers through the ‘golden thread’ of teacher development. We provide the best possible mentors and training package, reflecting our shared Trust ethos of ‘Ambition for All.’

About our school experience

Our days may include:
Talking to Hub staff about the teacher training scheme
Talking to existing trainees about their experiences
Asking teachers about their typical day
Observe teaching
Observe tutor times
Watch a range of subjects being taught.

You will also get the chance to gain advice on how to complete a training application and gain valuable insight into some of the skills you can showcase in your personal statement.
