"Not the best "

They don’t allow the kid to go toilets and teachers can’t take of the drama between the kids and give them detention

"Helped my daughter become the person she is today"

I have fond memories of my daughter's time at Brentford School for Girls. The school's emphasis on developing confident and courageous women really resonated with me, and I think it had a profound impact on my daughter's personality. She has gone on to achieve great things and I'm so grateful for the foundation that the school provided.

"Mixed feelings about the school"

I think Brentford School for Girls has some great aspects, the values of being ambitious and inquisitive are fantastic, but I've experienced a bit of inconsistency with the teaching in some subjects. My daughter has had some great teachers but also some not so good. Overall, it's an okay school but I'm not blown away.
