Brentwood School

Brentwood School, an independent day and boarding co-educational institution, is located in the heart of Brentwood, Essex, just 25 minutes away from central London by train. The school's impressive Tudor frontage is complemented by 75 acres of lush Essex countryside and state-of-the-art facilities, thanks to a recent £14m expansion project.

With around 1800 students aged 3-18, Brentwood School offers both day and boarding options. The school follows the "diamond model" with co-ed classes in the prep school, single-sex classes in the senior school, and co-ed classes again in the Sixth Form. Brentwood is known for its impressive average results and strong support for high achievers, with several students progressing to Oxbridge and medical schools each year.

The school places a strong emphasis on pastoral care and wellbeing, with its values of "Virtue, Learning, and Manners" and a caring Christian ethos that permeates the school's culture. Brentwood School is fairly selective on entry, so applicants should be operating at an above-average academic level. The school offers a broad range of co-curricular activities, including sports, music, and arts, and its all-weather floodlit pitch was an official training venue for the London 2012 Olympic Games.
