Dear Parent/Carer
Thank you for choosing Brentford School for
Girls. We would like to warmly welcome you and your daughter to
Brentford. This is the beginning of what we hope will be a long,
successful and happy secondary school career. Our aim is to provide your
daughter with an excellent education, offering stretching learning
opportunities, challenge and support in order to nurture your daughter’s
talents and equip her for life in the wider world.
It is
important that you have all the relevant information available, to make
your transition into your new school as smooth as possible. A booklet
will be sent to you in the next few days to provide you with that
information. Please read through it carefully, and keep it for future
reference. We will also send you copies of our newsletter so that you
are able to keep up to date with what is happening in our school
community.
Additionally, there will be a series of transition
activities that will allow you and your daughter to visit school, meet
with staff and sample life at Brentford. A Transition Morning will take
place on Saturday 12th May. This will give you and your
daughter the opportunity to learn more about Brentford and to meet key
members of staff. On Friday 15th June, you and your daughter
will be invited into school for an interview so we may learn more about
your daughter and her interests. Important paperwork will also be
collected at the interview. Finally, on Tuesday 3rd of July, your daughter will take part in an Induction Day to experience a full school day.
If you have any queries about the school, please do not hesitate to contact us. I look forward to meeting you soon.
Yours sincerely
Marais Leenders - Headteacher
