Curriculum
The curriculum is based on the Knowledge, Enlightenment and Discovery (KED) programme. The school believes how you learn is as important as what you learn, and teachers direct and guide, developing a pathway for each pupil based on their needs.
Sport & The Arts
Sport is integral to school life, and Bryanston Prep pupils take part in a varied programme of traditional team sports as well as dance, fitness and riding at the equestrian centre. Creative arts are at the foundation of the school with opportunities in music, drama, art and DT.
Pastoral Care
Bryanston Prep believes the wellbeing of pupils is central to their ability to succeed in their learning and relationships. Pupils learn how to live together, to share, to be independent and to develop self-confidence and self-reliance, always secure in the knowledge that they are valued and cared for. This culture of support means that the school’s pupils are confident, eager to try new things, polite and well-mannered.
Exit Destinations
Pupils go on to Bryanston (senior), Leweston, Clayesmore, Sherborne, Wells Cathedral School, Milton Abbey.
Head’s Philosophy
To understand truly how each child learns by giving them time, nurture and inspiration to find their passion and a love of learning. Our culture celebrates the individual spirit within each child and our job is to nurture, encourage and guide every pupil to realise their own abilities and passions.
