BRENTSIDE HIGH SCHOOL
Learning and
achieving together
September 2015: 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”, no exceptions, no excuses.
Our success was recognised by
the Minister of State for Schools who
congratulated us for being one of the
top 100 schools in England. Recognition
was given for the greatest sustained
improvement in the percentage of
students achieving five or more A*-C
grade GCSEs, including English
and mathematics.
One unique feature of Brentside is its
high quality enrichment opportunities
and partnerships. Recent examples
include: a motivational talk from the US
Ambassador to the UK; trips abroad to
perform in Disneyland, Paris; a science
trip to CERN in Switzerland; a student
exhibition at the National Portrait
Gallery and our established partnerships
with both BBC Schools Report and
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.”
Brentside’s state of the art facilities
support excellent teaching and learning
and we are very
pleased to be
in the planning
stages of an exciting new building
project to expand our provision for 2016.
To conclude, the relationships that
teachers build with students to support,
stretch and challenge make Brentside
unique and the atmosphere is evident
as soon as you step through the
doors. There is no escaping the warm
community feel of this highly successful
school. Please do not take our word for
it; come and see for yourselves!
