Event description

Inspiring young minds to raise aspiration
We would like you to talk to our girls about all the amazing opportunities they have available to them.

We are a small school and our students tell us that Brentford feels like a ‘big family’. In our most recent Ofsted report (September 2011), the school’s care, guidance and support were identified as ‘outstanding.’ Our success lies in the close and safe community that flourishes here at Brentford and the excellent relationships that exist between staff and students.

We have students ranging from 11-18. Our students are ambitious and confident. Pupils higher up in the school show great determination to achieve but many lack the access to information and role models needed to raise their aspiration. I feel that many of our girls would find it truly eye-opening to get a glimpse into the world of an entrepreneur. I am extremely excited to have Founder4Schools share their insight into the start-up community with our girls.
