A Warm Welcome from our Headmaster
Brentwood School is a special place. A place with deep roots that provide stability in an ever-changing world and a place where 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.
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.
Building Respect, Embracing Diversity
We help our students to solve problems, persevere after setbacks and adopt a growth mindset. Our students are willing to take managed risks and celebrate their successes and those of their peers with equal enthusiasm while accepting the premise that ‘success is not final and failure is not fatal’.
Our students are confident without being arrogant, they look out for each other and do the right thing, even when no one is looking. They respect differences: you will see a footballer enjoying lunch with a chorister and a dancer running a recycling project with a chess player.
Come and see for yourself – you will discover a school where innovation, dynamism and a can-do attitude are intertwined with manners, respect and, above all, kindness.

A Tailored Education
Brentwood Senior School is a day and boarding school with a difference.
Our boys and girls are taught separately from Year 7 until the Sixth Form, allowing us to encourage freedom of expression and create space for individual identity within the classroom whilst maintaining and developing social integration beyond it with what we call the Diamond Model.
We are extremely happy with the School which has exceeded all our expectations, James has made an excellent transition and we are delighted with the progress he has already made.
Cultivating Lifelong Success
We achieve our goals by modelling the behaviours we want to help our students develop, and by teaching with intelligence and genuine passion in an engaging environment.
The consequences of this culture of continuous learning are our excellent record of exam results and the onward success of our students, but we are a School that offers much more than such measurable and finite outcomes: many schools promise to develop the whole person but few can claim to do so as well as Brentwood.
I hope this introduction gives an insight into what a Brentwood Senior School can offer your child, and that you will come and visit us soon to find out more.
Our students enjoy access to our modern facilities, set in the heart of Brentwood yet surrounded by 75 acres of playing fields and gardens.
