About the school

Bentley Wood High School is a multi-cultural girls' comprehensive school which receives students from a wide range of primary schools. The majority of students transfer from Harrow primary schools but students are also admitted from out of borough.[1]

Bentley Wood High School specialises in maths, science and computing. It has been recognised for its 2015 performance by the Schools, Students and Teachers network (SSAT).[2] The school was declared outstanding by Ofsted,[3] and has been in the top 1% of schools nationally for three years. It was recognised as the seventh highest-performing school in the country in 2015 for student progress. [4]

The sixth form centre is part of the Harrow Sixth Form Collegiate.
