Bramdean school for boys and girls was founded by the Rev Thomas Walters and moved to Exeter in 1901. The school has been privileged to serve the community for over 100 years. Bramdean aims to fulfil the potential of each pupil it accepts, to supply a varied range of opportunities for personal success both inside and outside the classroom, to promote the development of sound values, a sense of responsibility and service, a keen sense of self-discipline, good manners and a genuine commitment to the pursuit of excellence.

Bramdean is an interdenominational school. Pupils attend morning assembly in the school chapel every day.
