Bright World Partner School Profile

Situated on a large country estate in Hampshire, at Brockwood Park School teachers and students live, work, play and inquire together, caring for the estate and grounds themselves. The school has an active environmental programme and is vegetarian, using organic ingredients wherever possible, many of them from the school’s own organic garden. As an international boarding school, students come from over 20 different countries and the mix of cultures provides excellent opportunities to learn other languages and make international friends. With around up to 75 students aged 14 to 19, the school has the feel of a large family rather than a boarding school. All students have an individual timetable and may prepare for university entrance examinations (A / AS levels or SAT), focus on ESL certification or develop their own projects and portfolios in keeping with their particular talents and interests. In all cases, assessment of each student is by written and verbal reports, rather than grades. Classes have 7 students on average, so teachers can give individual attention to each student. Students gain both a good academic education and one that nurtures in them human qualities such as affection, self-knowledge, creativity, integrity and co-operation. Students are invited to discuss conformity, anger, fear and relationship just as readily as they are required to study Mathematics, English and Science.
