Brentford School for Girls says it is reinforcing its commitment to empowering young women, providing an outstanding education and a robust careers programme designed to prepare students for a successful future. The school combines academic rigor with extensive personal development opportunities, creating a nurturing environment for students to thrive.
The school’s dedication to student progress has earned national recognition, including being named one of the ‘Top 100 non-selective state schools’ by the Department for Education and receiving the prestigious Quality in Careers Standard re-accreditation. This highlights the school’s success in delivering exceptional careers education, information, advice, and guidance. The school’s ethos, ‘every child counts’, is a cornerstone of its ‘Good’ Ofsted rating, which praised student progress and positive attitudes.
A key component of this empowerment is the planned programme of careers education for all students from Year 7 to 13. Through its comprehensive PSCE (BLOSSOM) curriculum, partnerships with industry experts, and an annual Careers and Higher Education Fair, the school equips students with vital skills for an evolving job market. This is further enhanced by inspiring alumni like Sonya Barlow, a successful entrepreneur, author, and BBC presenter who founded the LMF Network, a careers platform that has upskilled 20,000 people globally.
Laksmi Pudaruth, a proud alumna of Brentford School for Girls, exemplifies the power of hard work, determination, and ambition. After graduating, she pursued a career in law at Macfarlanes and Brunel Law School, where she earned a prestigious scholarship. Laksmi’s journey didn’t stop there—she went on to successfully run her own businesses, showcasing her drive and entrepreneurial spirit.
Brentford School for Girls encourages students to participate in leadership roles, extra-curricular activities, and community projects to build confidence and social skills. This holistic approach ensures every girl is prepared to achieve her maximum potential.
Prospective parents and carers are invited to discover the school’s aspirational environment at the upcoming Open Evening on Wednesday 1st October, from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM.
This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the school’s vision for empowering young girls. Bookings can be made through the school’s website.
