About Brentwood School

Brentwood School is a selective, independent day and boarding school in Brentwood, Essex, England. The school is coeducational, and employs the “Diamond Model”. The school is a member of the Headmasters’ and Headmistresses’ Conference, the IAPS, the AGBIS, and the AMDIS.

The school is set in over 72 acres (29 ha) of land in the centre of Brentwood.

There are five-day houses, named North Town, South Town, East Town, West Town, and Weald, and two boarding houses, Mill Hill for girls and Hough House for boys.

Competitions in sport, music, drama, debating and other activities are held on a regular basis between the houses. Pupils’ house membership can be determined by the style of their tie; yellow for North, red for South, light blue for East, dark blue for West and claret for Weald.

Brentwood operates in a diamond school format, in which the preparatory school and sixth form are co-educational while the senior school teaches boys and girls separately.

Admission to the senior school is by entrance examination. In addition to core subjects (English, mathematics, sciences, MFL), pupils’ GCSE and IGCSE options include computer science, drama, DT, food technology, geography, Greek, history, Latin, music, RS

The school has a strong sporting tradition, in both intra- and extramural terms. Sports offered include Association football, cricket, fencing, gymnastics, hockey, netball, rifle shooting, Rugby football, squash, swimming and tennis.

The school has a long musical tradition, and a close association with Brentwood (Roman Catholic) and Chelmsford (Anglican) cathedrals; a number of pupils and staff sing in the choir of each cathedral.

Since 2013, Brentwood has hosted an annual Model United Nations (BMUN) conference.
