A handsome gothic Victorian hunting lodge once owned by the Marquis of Abergavenny, is home to picturesque Brambletyeschool. Near the busy town of East Grinstead, West Sussex (but close to the Surrey & Kent borders), its pupils come from surrounding towns and London with 10% overseas students. The main house, where the pupils board is the heart of ...
Facilities here are strong, especially considering the number of pupils. Their centenary in 2019 saw the addition of a new art studio, library complex, an all-weather pitch and new changing facilities costing £2.1m.
Sport is taken seriously here (the headmaster was captain of his Prep XV back in the day and clearly sees its value). Yes, there’s the usual Large Sports Hall – but this one has a fencing track, a climbing wall and an indoor shooting gallery. There are a whopping 7 football and rugby pitches (pretty generous for 278 pupils), 5 cricket pitches with ...
It’s very much ‘lights, camera, action’ for this well-used but lovely 250-seater theatre with West-End vibes including professional sets, lighting, orchestra pit and stunning wardrobes of costumes. There are strong LAMDA results with 39 out of 42 children achieving Distinction in 2021. There’s a Year 7 & 8 musical every two years, reflecting a high...
Will Brooks is in his 7th year and has simplified the lengthy school rules to; “Word Hard, Play Hard, Be Kind,” which he explained encompasses everything at Brambletye. He’s warm, likable and passionate about preparing children for the 21st century and his vision and drive to complete the new complex for the creative arts is a real asset for the sc...
No academic worries here with a 100% pass rate for common entrance exams despite the mixed ability cohort which could be down to the small average class size of 14. Headmaster Brooks recently implemented 55 minutes lessons which he says has improved children’s focus. Pupils are mostly class taught by a single teacher up to the end of Year 4, with s...
There is a strong pastoral network to support children run by tutors, the boarding team and school nurses (one of whom is a wellbeing expert and has set up iSpace programme which is being rolled out in schools nationwide). Many additional staff are mental health first aid trained and a school counsellor and independent listener visit weekly. Childr...
Other than the pink blazers, the school has a real sense of fun. There’s no dull textbooks here, when I visited kids were shooting homemade rockets into the sky and getting ready to launch watermelon in the Trebuchet (large catapult to you and me). There are a number of wonderful and wacky charity events including Barking Mad Dog Show, 4×4 obstacle...
76 boarders – 46 full, the rest on a flexi basis with beds kept for them, all in the wooden panelled country house which is the heart of the school. Rooms are shared dorms all light and airy, many with lovely views. I was struck by the homely feel and how children had been allowed to personalise their space. Saturdays are very much alive and kickin...
I’d say a little above average perhaps reflecting the small class sizes and those Gertrude Jeykll grounds; Reception £2,710, Y1-2 £3,585, Y3 £6,675, Y4-6 £6,995, Y7-8 £7,435. Boarding from £8,860 Y3-6 up-to £9,065 for Y7-8.
