We enable our pupils to become the best version of themselves by developing Virtue, Learning and Manners.
Uniting Vision, Empowering Futures
We are a community, with a shared vision, common purpose and a determination that everything we do will benefit the young people of today (and tomorrow) who are in our care.
History of Virtue, Learning & Manners
Who are we?
We embody our values of virtue, learning and manners just as those before us have been doing since 1557. We are proud of our modern inclusive community which is shaped by our Christian Foundation.
Our students are confident without being arrogant, they look out for each other, they do the right thing, even when no one is looking and they respect difference: you will see a footballer enjoying lunch with a chorister and a dancer running a recycling project with a chess player.
Good schools can only become great schools if they have great people - at Brentwood, we teach our pupils the importance of lifelong learning and we practise what we preach.
What makes us Brentwood?
We help our students to solve problems. In partnership with parents, we teach them to persevere after setbacks, adopt a growth mindset and challenge the norm. We encourage them to ask questions in class and take control of their learning.
Of course, they work hard and enjoy great success in and out of the classroom, and once they’ve left us, many go on to use and develop their leadership skills and achieve beyond their expectations, always remembering what Brentwood has taught them.
Our Aims
- We ensure that each individual pupil is safe and valued in an inclusive community.
- We provide a range of opportunities designed to enable every pupil to further their potential, enjoy their learning and achieve the best possible academic outcomes.
- We inspire students to emerge as intellectually curious and resilient young people with leadership skills, who work well with and care for others.
- We challenge students to develop strong moral purpose and take principled action within the school, local and international community.
Future Plans
New Boarding Facilities
We are transforming our boarding accommodation, constructing a new state-of-the-art Boarding House, designed specifically to meet our students’ needs.
The multimillion-pound development will not only exceed expectations but set a new standard for comfort, security, and holistic student living.
The doors will open in September 2025. Find out more below.
