Thurrock Council is moving towards a new community leadership approach which involves linking with local partners and communities as we shape our improvement for the years ahead.
Thurrock is located on the north bank of the river Thames. Our urban centres are a vibrant mix of established towns and new young communities, with a diverse and growing population of around 160,000 residents.
We are an emerging cultural and arts centre, home to the production centre for the Royal Opera House and the National Skills Academy for Creative and Cultural Skills. We have excellent retail and leisure opportunities, including Lakeside Shopping Centre, country parks, forests and marshes.
Thurrock is just half an hour journey away from the centre of London by train and well connected by road.
Brentwood School is one of the UK's leading co-educational independent day and boarding schools, providing first-class opportunities from age 3 to 18.
Founded in 1557 by Sir Antony Browne, the School statutes were signed by John Donne in 1622, declaring that pupils should be instructed in Virtue, Learning and Manners; values still embodied today. Combining inspirational modern teaching with traditional values, the School aims to provide a first-rate education.
Brentwood School offers extensive co-curricular opportunities, including excellence in sport, music and drama, the largest optional Combined Cadet Force in the country and a high level of participation in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme.
