Description

Bryanston School is a public school (English independent day and boarding school for pupils aged 13–18) located next to the village of Bryanston.

Facilities

  • Bryanston’s 400-acre estate provides the perfect setting for a broad range of sporting and outdoor adventure activities. Exceptional facilities include sports pitches, equestrian centre, playing fields, tennis courts, climbing tower and sports centre.
  • The campus is home to the Tom Wheare Music School with its state-of-the-art concert hall and recording studio, and the Coade Hall, where a rich and vibrant programme of theatre and film is curated. The Don Potter Art School offers specialist areas for pupils to explore and hone their talents in a diverse range of mediums, such as drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography, printmaking and textiles. 

Features

Things to note

  • Creativity is at the heart of all that they do and the creative arts enjoy a strong profile in the School – from music, theatre and art to design and technology, film and theatre technology.
  • They offer more than 80 different extra-curricular activities (ECAs) to inspire and engage every child outside the classroom. ECAs include sports, arts, music, and science and academic clubs and societies, meaning that, whatever their interests, pupils should be able to find an ECA that suits them. If not, they are encouraged to suggest new ECAs and many of the older pupils help to set up and run these.

Scholarships

BRYANSTON OFFERS SCHOLARSHIPS AT BOTH 13+ AND 16+: Students may apply for a maximum of two scholarships. Awards range in value from honorary up to a maximum of 10% of the fees. The remission may be enhanced by a bursary if parents are able to demonstrate, through a means-testing process, that they could not otherwise send their child to Bryanston. A bursary can stand alone or supplement scholarships. Scholars are expected to be catalysts in their year group, to take the lead and to help others to aim higher. They should be ambassadors for their specialism and for the School in general and should be happy to act as role models for their peers. All scholars will have the opportunity to broaden their horizons through the variety of activities and events in school. Through the tutorial system they will receive mentoring on an individual basis to help them nurture and develop their talents.
