History
editThe school was established as the Brentford British School in 1834, and was initially mixed.[3]
Lionel de Rothschild and Charlotte von Rothschild took an interest in the school after taking residence at nearby Gunnersbury Park in 1835. Baroness Charlotte commenced a series of charitable donations and schemes, that culminated with her financing of a new school building in 1857. The Baroness' contributions continued until her death in 1884, and by 1906 the school had been renamed the Rothschild School.[4]
The Rothschild School building closed in 1930,[4] to be replaced by a new building on the school's current site.[3] Numbers at this new school grew to such an extent that in 1968, boys were moved to Isleworth and Syon School, and the Brentford school thereafter became for girls.[3]
In 2012, the school converted to academy status.[5] In its three Ofsted inspections since 2011 the school has been assessed as "Good".[6][7] Marias Leenders is the current Headteacher.[8]
