Bromsgrove is a co-educational boarding and day school for 1300 pupils. 750 of these are in the Senior School (HMC 13-18), 380 in the Prep School (IAPS 7-13) which is on an adjacent site but makes use of many of the facilities of the Senior School. Dating from the Middle Ages, and as one of the founding Schools of the Headmaster's Conference in 1869, the School values its tradition but looks strongly to the future.
There is a Tutorial based system of Pastoral Care throughout the whole School. The School has a teacher/pupil ratio of 1:9 and offers a curriculum based upon, but not restricted by, the demands of the National Curriculum. Students regularly achieve excellent success at GCSE, 'A' level and Oxbridge. £22 million has been spent on new facilities since 1994, including a £4 million Humanities block opened in September 2005, a new ADT block and a state of the art Library and Resources Centre. A 70 room mixed sixth form boarding house was opened in September 2005. With en-suite rooms and its own dining facilities this off campus boarding house it gives students a pre-university feel.
The School also boasts excellent sporting and extra-curricular facilities: an indoor swimming pool and Sports Hall in the Senior School as well as a full-size floodlit all-weather surface. A second Astro-turf opened in September 2006. There has also been investment in a local athletics venue in partnership with the town. Many pupils represent County, Divisional or National teams.
A full programme of Art, the Performing Arts and Outdoor Pursuits, all pursued to the highest level, is an essential part of the life of the School, as is a strong Combined Cadet Force. Combined with courses in the Sixth Form, one of the benefits of this programme is the excellent leadership training which it provides.
There is local access to the national motorway network with Birmingham International Airport and rail link only thirty minutes away. It takes less than forty-five minutes to reach Worcester, Stratford or Warwick; Oxford is an hour away and London less than two.
Bromsgrove School provides a working environment which enriches each individual's quality of life; there is a vision for the future based upon the firm foundations of the past. Bromsgrove aims to provide an education which is broad, balanced, rigorous and relevant, producing well rounded pupils who have the confidence, skills and attributes for a fulfilled life.
