Who makes the decisions on who to admit to Brentwood County High School for September admissions to Year 7?
As an academy school, BCHS is legally its own admissions authority. However, as with most academies, we are part of the Essex Local Authority admissions process. Essex County Council manages our admissions as part of the central Essex system in line with our published admissions criteria for each year.
