Working at Brentwood

Brentwood School is an excellent place to work and extremely well-located.

Our 75-acre site with picturesque grounds and state-of-the-art facilities makes a wonderful and inspiring learning and working environment.

We are a mere 40 minutes to London from Brentwood station and 20 minutes from Shenfield station. Using the Elizabeth Line, passengers can reach Central and West London without changing. We’re in the centre of Brentwood and a walk away from all the cultural, retail, gastronomic and nightlife facilities it has to offer.
