Pupils enter the Preparatory School at seven years old. Assessment tests are held
each year and children are tested in the basic skills in order to ensure that,
as far as possible, they are able to benefit from the type of education offered.
Pupils follow the Common Entrance syllabus for Independent Schools.

Preparatory School
At Bramdean, we offer continuity of education. Children in the preparatory school follow the Independent School's Common Entrance syllabus in all subjects. This syllabus follows the National Curriculum in subject matter but extends pupils beyond these levels. Pupils do not sit the Key Stage 'SATS' tests at Bramdean and the school does not divide pupils along Key Stage lines. Children progress through the school by ability. Their progress is under constant review by both form and subject teachers. Pupils sit end of year assessments in every subject taught. Regular communication with parents through termly reports, parents evenings and the daily prep diary ensures a consistent approach.

Children move to the senior school at the age of 12 plus where the school achieves consistently excellent examination results in all subjects.

Clubs & After-School Activities
Preparatory School children can enjoy a wide range of clubs and after-school activities including: archery, art, badminton, chess, drama, football and games, horse riding, use of the multigym, orchestra, table tennis and tennis.

Bursaries and Scholarships
Each year Bramdean School awards a limited number of Junior School bursaries and scholarships to pupils aged between 7-10 years. These awards are available to new pupils only and can be tenable to the completion of GCSE at sixteen plus. Contact the school for details.
