Brentford School for Girls prides itself on being at the heart of the local community.  We work with several local primary schools and contribute to local events whenever possible.  We are keen to build links with local businesses and universities and to participate in local events where possible. 

We have regular careers events which involve successful people from the community speaking with students about further education and career options; this enables the girls to benefit from their advice and experience.  The careers fair, activities during careers week and our mock interview day all enable businesses in the area to speak with students and build links with the school, creating opportunities for both the students and the businesses.

We hold an annual Women's Week, expanding our celebrations of International Women's Day, where we explore women's issues and celebrate the empowerment of women (especially by other women).  We have also hosted the Hounslow Women in Business March event for the last few years, providing our girls with the opportunity to network with successful women from a variety of fields.

The arts are very important at Brentford School for Girls, and we always relish the opportunity to work with the community, providing creative opportunities for our students and sharing our girls' amazing talents and achievements with our wider Brentford community.  Our Art, Photography and Design & Technology departments have exhibited work in local galleries.  Our students were also commissioned to create the artwork exhibited in the communal areas of the new apartments built by the Hill Group in Kew. We have also been involved in the Art on your Doorstep project in collaboration with the National Gallery and the Brentford Mile.  Furthermore, we hold an annual Arts Festival to celebrate the creativity of our girls, enabling the students to display their work to the community and network with those in related industries in the area.

Our school productions are incredibly popular every year.  The girls and teachers work tirelessly to ensure a high-quality and thrilling production.  Primary schools are invited to matinée performances throughout the week and the evening performances are open to all.

Having recently been part of Digital Schoolhouse (in partnership with Nintendo UK), a project that uses play-based learning to engage the next generation of pupils and teachers with the Computing curriculum, we continue to offer IT-based workshops to our local primary schools to deliver lessons and training where necessary.

The school is historically involved in developing international links and projects to widen the experiences of our girls.

We have been recognised in the past for our international work by the British Council and accredited for the International Schools Award.    We continue to be a member of the International Coalition of Girls Schools and the British Council and are currently exploring partnerships with schools around the world.
