Connecting Parents, Building Community
We provide a friendly, social network for parents beyond the School gates while raising funds for those extra little touches that make being a part of Brentwood School special for students and parents.
Friends of Brentwood School funds are raised via a series of events; cake sales, fairs, nearly-new uniform sales, the winter ball held at the School, wine-tasting, dinners, race days, lunches, gala nights, and shopping trips.
For further information, please get in touch with us below.

Uniform Sales
Our nearly new uniform sales take place each term in the Garden Building at the Prep School from 3.40pm until 5pm. Parents have gratefully received this initiative, which has raised approximately £7,000 to date.
When attending, please park in the Higgs Prep School car park (entrance via Shenfield Road, shared with Nuffield Hospital) and head to the black gates (to the right of Taskers House), where the sale will be signposted.
If you have any uniform to donate, please add it to the boxes outside the Prep School gates during the week of the sale. Any Senior School donations should be left in labelled bags outside the Porter’s office. Please ensure items are clean and pockets are empty.
Making a Difference
Last year, we raised £20,000 for a 50-person, wooden sports shelter that was built next to the Prep School Astro.
We also contributed towards the Senior and Prep School House flags, House Cross-Country and Prep Sports Day medals, portable floodlights, benches, Year 2 Moving Up gifts, Year 6 Yearbooks and disco decorations, the Upper Sixth Leavers’ reception, as well as funding towards the table tennis tables, Duke Of Edinburgh’s Awards kit, outdoor trikes and teddy bears for Reception, the Trim Trail and much more:
