BRENTSIDE HIGH SCHOOL
Learning
and achieving
together
September 2014: The
start of a new school year
and, for Year 7 students at
Brentside High School, it
is the beginning of a very
exciting journey that will
ultimately impact on the
rest of their lives.
A
n exhilarating challenge
touched, no doubt, with a
hint of fear from students
and parents alike. Deciding
where to send your child to school is
not easy. Will my child be safe and
happy? Will they succeed? Is this the
best school for them?
At Brentside High School we take pride
in knowing that the answer is a resounding
‘yes’! How can we be so sure?
Many parents look to Ofsted for help
and Brentside’s last inspection judged
care, guidance and support for students
as ‘exceptional’. The report also praised
“a culture of high expectations, mutual
respect and success.”
A key indicator of this success is the
progress made by students in English
and mathematics, which places the
school in the top 2% and 5% respectively
of all schools in England. As a result,
we were very proud to be asked by the
Mayor of London to join the Gold Club,
which champions exceptional London
schools to achieve excellence and invites
us to share our good practice with others.
Another unique feature of Brentside is
its high quality partnerships and recent
examples include students broadcasting
on Radio 4 at the royal opening of
the new BBC Broadcasting House,
being involved in a special exhibition
at the National Portrait Gallery where
our students’ work is currently being
exhibited and staring in a training video
for Transport for London. Our staff really
do go the extra mile to make such
opportunities a reality for our students.
What better way to help you make
your choice than
to hear what
other parents
have to say? One
Year 7 parent
said: “Our son absolutely loves it.
We are more than pleased with his
progress and are confident that we
made the right decision.”
Another said: “Our daughter is
doing really well academically. The
support that students receive is, quite
simply, excellent.”
The Brentside atmosphere is evident
as soon as you step through the
doors. There is no escaping the warm
community feel of this highly successful
school. But please do not take our word
for it; come and see for yourselves!
