Our diverse group of governors share a deep passion for the transformative impact of education on young lives.

We are particularly interested in individuals that have quality of education knowledge, finance and health and safety.

Child-Centric Commitment: A genuine dedication to the welfare and academic achievement of the children.
Positive Contribution: A desire to actively contribute to the school community.
Practical Judgment: Common sense and practical decision-making.

If you have the commitment, vision, and desire to contribute to our educational community, we encourage you to apply. Your dedication will help shape the future of our students.

Governors play a crucial role in our school. Many of their functions are either statutory or governed by legal frameworks. To effectively fulfill their strategic responsibilities, governors must think strategically, challenge, monitor, and provide support. We offer a comprehensive induction, training and support package and this is a great opportunity for professional development at board level.

At Brentwood County High School, we will give all students the opportunity to develop a full range of skills and knowledge that they will need to succeed in later life, whatever pathway they choose to take. They will have many opportunities to develop their talents in a wide range of subject routes and activities. Subject routes such as the highly academic English Baccalaureate route and a wide range of other subjects such as physical education, music, food technology, Design and Technology including Construction are available. They will also have the opportunity to undertake activities like football, netball, music tuition, choir and STEM club and have the opportunity to travel to places such as Barcelona, France and have a go at skiing in Italy.

We expect them to work very hard in order to achieve their full potential and we expect students to follow our behaviour commitments. We want them to be respectful, demonstrate excellence, persevere in everything they do and be safe.

If they work hard and commit to their learning, they will achieve the best possible outcomes. Their focus and a positive 'growth mind-set' will enable them to be ready for learning at every stage over the next seven years. All of our teachers will go above and beyond to support them in fulfilling their potential.
We will have high expectations and aspirations for them all and we will support and guide them every step of the way
