Sixty years on one campus, still eighteen to a class.
Bramleigh was founded in 1964 by three teachers who thought children were being lost in large schools. The campus has grown. The class size has not.

What we stand for
Known
Eighteen in a class is a promise that your child will be noticed, stretched and, when they need it, caught.
Broad
Sport, music and art are timetabled, not optional extras. A child who is only ever academic is being short-changed.
Honest
We publish results, fees and class sizes in full. If a school will not show you its numbers, ask why.
