Information about the school

Bronte School is an independent ISI accredited co-educational preparatory school for children aged 3 to 11, located in the center of Gravesend.

The school seeks to provide high quality education, within a balanced curriculum, which nurtures development and provides the challenges needed for growth. The twin pillars of being a family school and of upholding excellence in academic life underpin the school’s ethos.

At the heart of our school is a vibrant curriculum supported by a dedicated management team that focuses on the growth of every child. We believe that true education requires both depth and variety; that’s why creative arts, sports, and humanities sit proudly alongside rigorous study in English, mathematics, and science.

The school has a Christian character and tradition, and welcomes families and staff from any background, ethnicity or religion. All within the school community are encouraged to strive to treat others as they would wish to be treated themselves.

A fundamental part of Bronte’s mission is to prepare children for their first-choice senior schools, which we have seen tremendous success in. Many of Bronte's children go to highly selective grammar schools or onto leading independent schools often with scholarships.

Bronte is a small school, of around 160 pupils, in a single class entry, with maximum class sizes of 20 pupils. The teachers are dedicated, professional and caring, and they get to know the children very well. This is a central part of the school’s family atmosphere. Pastoral care is strong, and is seen as fundamental to the children’s success, happiness and sense of self-fulfillment.

The key factor in the successful candidate is that he or she can inspire and develop the children’s best endeavors and can promote and build their education in its fullest sense.

Bronte is a privately owned school under the governance of Proprietor Fenella Clements. Alongside Headmistress Emma Wood and a dedicated Advisory Board, the leadership team ensures the highest standards of school oversight and support.
