Welcome from the Headteacher

Dear Parents/Carers,

I am delighted to introduce myself as the new Headteacher of Brentwood County High School. It is a privilege to lead such a dedicated team of staff and a talented group of pupils. As Headteacher my foremost responsibility is to ensure that every child receives the highest quality education in a school where they feel happy, safe, and valued. I also recognise the profound trust that families place in us to care for what they hold most dear, and I am committed to upholding that trust each and every day.

Building on the school's strong foundations we will continue to raise aspirations and create a culture where pupils thrive, regardless of their starting point. Our vision is to make Brentwood County High School a true centre of excellence, where learning extends beyond the classroom and where each pupil is supported on their seven-year journey from Year 7 to Year 13. Through a broad and balanced curriculum, high expectations, and a commitment to inclusion, we will ensure that no child is left behind and that every student can achieve their full potential and realise their ambitions.

At the heart of our school are the values of Self-help, Self-responsibility, Democracy, Equality, Equity, and Solidarity. These principles guide everything we do, shaping not only how we learn but also how we grow as individuals and as a community. We are committed to fostering an environment where each child is supported to take responsibility for their learning, where every voice is valued, and where fairness and opportunity are embedded in our culture.

A great school is one that not only delivers academic success but also nurtures character, confidence, and resilience. By working together as a school community, we will continue to provide outstanding enrichment opportunities, strong pastoral care, and a culture of high standards where the fundamentals are non-negotiable. Brentwood County High School will be a place where students flourish, where they develop the skills and values to make a meaningful impact on the world, and where excellence becomes standard.

I look forward to working in partnership with parents, carers, staff, and students to shape an exciting future for our school.
