Brentside High School
Brentside High School prospectus information
Our motto, 'learning and achieving together', is the focus of every member of the Brentside High School community, influencing all our activities.
Our latest Ofsted report confirms “Brentside High is a good school which provides a good quality of education. Most pupils make good progress at the school in response to good teaching and a caring and supportive climate. Leadership is strong at all levels and the school shows every sign of having the capacity to improve further”.
A significant rise in our Key Stage 3 and 4 examination results in recent years confirms this. Since 2004 the number of students achieving Level 5 or above at the end of Key Stage 3 is up by an average of more than 30% in English, mathematics and science, and the number of students achieving 5 or more A*-C passes at GCSE has increased by 25%. We are delighted with this impressive track record of sustained improvement. In recent years the school has been very highly placed in the DCSF Key Stage 4 performance tables.
However, our school is about far more than preparation for external examinations. We value equality and our holistic and caring approach is supported by an internationally recognised enrichment programme.
At Brentside High School we value the contribution every student makes. Being a fully comprehensive school, we have children with different talents and needs, which we value and we help all students fulfil their potential. Our differentiated curriculum provides challenge and interest to students of all abilities. It includes sports clubs, after-school support classes, free instrumental lessons, an array of trips to enhance all areas of our curriculum, a significant investment in ICT facilities and, of course, high quality teaching and learning.
Our Learning Support Department is comprised of a team of dedicated teachers and classroom assistants working entirely with children with Special Educational Needs to provide the best support possible.
Our thriving sixth form offers a wide range of A level and vocational courses.
The Brentside community of students and staff, in partnership with parents, is a happy and successful one. Please come and visit; you will be impressed!
