Who makes the decisions about who to admit to BCHS for Year 7 to 11 students during the school year?
Applications for admissions to BCHS in the course of the normal school year need to be made by contacting the school directly. Where year groups are full we will keep a waiting list for student admissions. Where year groups are not full we will work with parents, carers and students to facilitate admissions to the school.
What Our Parents Say
We regularly survey parents and carers of young people who attend our school to help us to reflect on all that we do and strive for continuous improvement. Here is a selection of some of the things that existing parents and carers have said about BCHS.
"Well done and keep doing what you already do. My children are very happy and doing well at the school so thank you for this."
"There are an amazing amount of extra-curricular activities which include all children if they so wish. Education wise, teachers approach in class is excellent and make the lessons as interesting as possible. Regular updates on the children's progress is also excellent."
"As ever your communication is first class. Your support of the GCSE students is excellent."
"Communication with parents is very good. Enforcement of school uniform standards is good. It is very good to be able to contact staff directly and sort out minor matters quickly."
"Our son has had a fantastic first year at BCHS, his confidence & self-belief has grown incredibly which is a joy to witness. He has spoken with enthusiasm and excitement repeatedly about his experiences and we look forward to a continuation of this. Thank you."
"I'm extremely happy, with the fast response and feedback that I have received over my son's behaviour ... good or bad, you have informed me on all areas. Your approach to dealing with these issues has been amazing, and has made him think about his actions. I'm also pleased that I have not been made to feel like a bad parent when the school has informed me, and the fact that we work together to make sure that his behaviour improves."
Home School Agreement
When students join Brentwood County High School it is important that we all set off on the path together. Joining a new school is a big event in any young person's life, and in order to ensure success we all need to commit to do certain things that will help achieve this.
The Home-School Agreement is a document where each of us commit to do certain things and sign to show this.
There is a section for the student, the parents or carers, the chair of governors and the headteacher.
The Home-School Agreement is an important statement about what we believe as a school and how we will ensure that each of our young people are enabled to succeed. We are always happy to discuss any aspect of the document, and work together to ensure that we can use the promises made to support each of our young people.
You can download a copy of the Home-School Agreement from the bottom of this page.
