Welcome to Brentwood Boarding
Finding the right boarding school for your child can be a daunting task.
As a parent, you want them to have a solid and practical education, and be cared for in a nurturing, home-from-home environment outside the classroom.
Students from all over the world find this at Brentwood School in Essex – we are a truly international community.
New Boarding House
We have transformed our boarding facilities, building a state-of-the-art boarding house that is subdivided into three main sections: a girls’ and boys’ boarding house and a central shared facility, which includes new dining and communal areas and an outdoor courtyard and dedicated landscaped social space.
Set within Brentwood School’s site, our new boarding house overlooks our extensive playing fields to create a harmonious and friendly atmosphere. Find out more below!
It’s amazing to be part of the tight-knit boarding community, which feels more like a family and not a bunch of strangers living together. The friends you make here last a lifetime.
Innovative Spaces, Building Community
Our new Brentwood boarding house features 122 single, ensuite bedrooms in cutting-edge university-style boarding accommodation. Staff accommodation is located at each end of the site and connects to their respective boarding houses.
A new Sixth Form cafe is the beating heart of our boarding house, acting as a hub for boarding and day students alike. In the evening, this space is transformed into a study space and group meeting venue exclusively for boarders’ use.
Come and take a look for yourself – book a tour below.
Flexi Boarding
We are now able to offer students the option of flexi boarding.
This exciting option provides the opportunity to experience the benefits of boarding. It’s ideal for students involved in after-school clubs or who have a long commute to and from school or simply as a preparation for university life.
Our flexi boarding option allows students to choose a two or three (consecutive) night package in a single ensuite bedroom. We believe that our new boarding facilities, combined with the flexibility of our boarding options, will greatly enhance the school experience for our students.
Please note that students will be interviewed and there are a fixed number of spaces available. For indicative prices, please contact our Boarding Admissions Manager, Mr Brian Hays.
