What our staff say about us:
"A traditional, yet aspirational environment rooted in a Catholic ethos: Brentwood Ursuline strives to educate students who are independent, creative and morally sound. Fundamentally, the girls want to succeed for themselves, support one another and enrich their knowledge. Teaching English and Drama here has allowed me to challenge not only the resilient and hard-working pupils, but also my own practice; ensuring these young women reach their potential."
"Staff are friendly and helpful and this enabled me to settle quickly into my role. BUCHS has a clear ethos and students, regardless of their background, work with the teachers to ensure they can be the best that they can be. Many events take place at BUCHS and the highlight so far has been the whole school Sponsored Walk which enabled me to get to know the students in my form far more quickly than I would have done if this event hadn't taken place!"
About Brentwood Ursuline Convent High School
Brentwood Ursuline Convent High School is a Roman Catholic state secondary for girls aged 11–16 with a co-educational Sixth Form, situated in Brentwood, Essex. In 2012, it became an academy; the Bishop, the chair of governors and the Diocesan directors are the trustees.
The school was founded in 1900 by Mother Clare, the first Superior of the Brentwood Ursulines. It was established as two schools – St Philomena’s, for poorer children, and St Mary’s – which merged in 1918. As the school grew, new buildings were added. Brentwood Ursuline Convent High School now has nearly 1,200 pupils, of which 190 are Sixth Form students.
