The long winding drive sets the scene for the handsome gothic hunting lodge that once belonged to the Marquis of Abergavenny and is now home to Brambletye. Located in the Sussex countryside near the busy town of East Grinstead, the main house where the pupils board, has glorious views of Ashdown Forest and the Weir Wood Reservoir. The 340 pupils co...
Facilities are impressive. To celebrate the school’s centenary in 2019, an art studio, library complex, all-weather pitch and new changing facilities were added at a cost of £2.1 million. And there’s more to come. The head will be announcing new plans for facilities provision in September so watch this space!
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 and dance studio. There are 7 football and rugby pitches (pretty generous for the number of pupils), 5 cricket...
Art is a particular strength at Brambletye, with David Holden, the head of department, having helped pupils gain 250 art scholarships during his 26-year tenure. A fabulous light-filled art studio was opened in 2020, named H in Holden’s honour. Here fine art, photography, ceramics, typography and pretty much everything else in between is taught. The...
Will Brooks, in his 10th year as headteacher, has simplified the school rules to: “Work Hard, Play Hard, Be Kind,” which are followed by everyone on site and encompasses everything you need to know about Brambletye. Brooks is warm, likeable and passionate about preparing children for the 21st century but making sure they have fun along the way. Whe...
Brambletye is selective but it’s a soft touch approach – there’s no test but there are face-to-face chats and a review of recent school reports. The school has a 100% pass rate for common entrance exams, perhaps thanks to the small class sizes, which average 16. Pupils are mostly taught by a single teacher until the end of year 4, with specialist s...
There is a strong pastoral network to support children run by tutors, the boarding team, the school nurse and head matron. When I visit a year four pupil drops in to update matron, easily found within the Surgery, on current goings on – it’s clearly the latest instalment in an ongoing conversation. Many staff are mental health and first aid trained...
Boarding is very popular with all the children I speak to and there are full, part time and flexi options on offer with beds for everyone who wants one (from year three). It’s not just about logistics, kids who live close by often stay over so they can join the fun. The weekend programme for the 40 full boarders is varied and engaging including las...
Other than the pink blazers, the school has a real sense of fun. There are a number of wonderful and wacky charity events including Barking Mad Dog Show. If you’re wondering why pink, it dates back to the founding headmaster, John “Bunny” Blencowe, who survived being shipwrecked, injured, on a desert island. Rescued by the aptly named Captain Sinke...
I’d say a little above average perhaps reflecting the small class sizes and those Gertrude Jeykll grounds; reception £4,030 per term, years 1-2 £4,415, year 3 £7,800, years 4-6 £8,175, years 7-8 £8,690. Boarding from £10,700 for years 3-6 up to £10,950 for years 7-8.
