- Drawing on 500 years of history, Bromsgrove School in Worcestershire continues its tradition of providing a broad education for pupils aged 2-18. More than 50 nationalities are represented on the roll of more than 2,000 pupils, and Bromsgrove has also opened schools in Thailand and Shenzhen, southeastern China.
- The coeducational day and boarding school rejects elitist attitudes – and says visitors will find “no swagger and no arrogance … no Harry Potter belltower”.
- The school’s sprawling 100-acre campus covers half of central Bromsgrove but despite the addition of exceptional facilities in recent years, the low buildings remain an unobtrusive part of the town’s fabric. Pupils are encouraged to prize inclusivity, diversity, compassion and commitment to achieving their potential.
- Most pupils progress to the large sixth form, which accepts new students attracted by its wide range of A-level courses or the International Baccalaureate programme.
