Welcome to Boarding
Brentwood School benefits hugely from our boarders’ rich mixture of backgrounds – we are a truly international community.
We are currently transforming our boarding facilities, building a state-of-the-art boarding house that will be 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 will overlook 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 will feature 122 single, en-suite bedrooms in cutting-edge university-style boarding accommodation. Staff accommodation will be located at each end of the site and will connect to their respective boarding houses.
A new Sixth Form cafe will be the beating heart of our boarding house, acting as a hub for boarding and day students alike. In the evening, this space will be transformed into a study space and group meeting venue exclusively for boarders’ use.
Flexi Boarding
We are delighted to announce that from September 2025, we will be able to offer students the option of flexi boarding.
This exciting new 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, students will be interviewed and there are a fixed number of spaces available. For indicative prices, please contact our Boarding Recruitment Manager, Mr Brian Hays.
A Stone’s Throw from London
Brentwood School is located in the town centre and is close to London, the exciting capital of England, steeped in history with its iconic sightseeing spots and attractions, theatres and top restaurants, which are just 23 minutes away.
Brentwood has excellent transport links and access to main airports. With buses, trains and the Elizabeth Line, connecting 40 stations to Heathrow airport, our location is ideal for travel. We also have ample car parking at the School.
Pathway to Success
Academically, we believe in developing broad horizons, so we keep a wide subject base for as long as possible. At Sixth Form, we have virtually no restrictions on subject combinations.
Alongside diverse and challenging A Level subjects, we offer the International Baccalaureate, which fosters internationalism as well as academic rigour.
Brentwood School is placed 8th in the UK for IB and offers the Prep-IB pathway for high-achieving ambitious students.
We aim to provide boarders with a structured, but relaxed and welcoming environment where they can grow into young adults with a strong feeling of self-worth, maturity, and academic rigour.
Our Boarding Recruitment Manager, Brian Hays attends a variety of fairs and expos around the world to meet prospective families and students to discuss boarding admission at Brentwood School.
If you would like to arrange a meeting with Brian or if you have any questions about boarding or need help during the boarding admissions process, please email him below or call +44 (0)1277 243273.
