Exciting things are happening at Brentford School for Girls! Over two inspiring days, students had the incredible opportunity to learn leadership skills directly from the Royal Navy. This hands-on programme was designed to build confidence, teamwork, and communication skills - qualities every parent wants to see in their child as they prepare for the future.

The Royal Navy’s visit wasn’t just a lecture; it was an immersive experience. Students from Year 7 to Sixth Form were actively engaged in practical exercises and discussions that brought leadership principles to life. From managing time effectively to making decisions under pressure, the Royal Navy demonstrated how these vital skills are put into action in high-stakes environments.

Mr. May, Assistant Head of Brentford School for Girls, shared his enthusiasm for the programme: ‘‘Our students gained so much from this experience. It wasn’t just about learning skills—it was about showing them what is possible when you work collaboratively and communicate effectively. The confidence they’ve come away with is remarkable. We are keen to give our current and future student leaders the opportunity to develop in line with our school vision and thank the Navy for their help.’’
