Bryanston School

Inspired by over 90 years of innovative educational practice, our approach to education and our distinctive culture nurtures purposeful, curious and well-rounded individuals. Bryanston is a leading co-educational, day and boarding school in Dorset for children 3 – 18 years. Alongside high academic standards and expectations, we provide an emotionally and intellectually supportive environment, allowing pupils to develop independent, creative, and unbounded thinking.

We encourage innovation in all areas of the curriculum, passionately believing that it is not what you learn, it is how you learn. Together with Bryanston Prep, our shared philosophy ‘The Bryanston Method,’ matches each pupil carefully selected 1:1 tutor who they meet weekly, and who guides each pupil in becoming responsible for their own learning.

The majority of pupils board at Bryanston and the pupils live in a home away from home in one of our twelve boarding houses supported by dedicated staff. Co-curricular life is vast with a huge breadth of sport and performing arts opportunities that our extensive facilities support. At the prep, where most pupils join us on a daily basis, our family style boarding is smaller but equally nurturing.
