Inspected & Accredited
“Choosing a school is not easy and no prospectus can adequately convey its quality and atmosphere. However, I hope this website will give you a feel for our ethos and the breadth of education at Brockhurst & Marlston House Schools.
We are the oldest family-owned school in England and have been in existence for over a hundred and forty years.
Our model of education aims to combine the best features of the single sex and co-educational systems and offers you a unique choice of education which we believe best enables boys and girls to achieve their potential and to develop their self-confidence.
We are also a progressive school and aim to be at the forefront of developments in education where we think they will offer benefits to our children and parents.
I hope you will come and visit us and see how we achieve these objectives. It will give you an opportunity to see the boys and girls flourishing in a wonderful environment and we shall make you most welcome.”
Aims & Ethos
Our aim is to provide a first-class all-round education through combining the best features of the single sex and co-educational systems. Pupils are encouraged to become well rounded individuals with open and enquiring minds who are confident in challenging their understanding.
The particular personal qualities we value, and foster are cheerful enthusiasm, appropriate self-confidence and good manners. We develop these by setting clear expectations and providing a very wide range of opportunities both in and out of the classroom. All our children are able to discover things they enjoy and can achieve success in. As a result, they become confident in ‘having a go’ without fear of failure and their determination to do their best, resilience and moral courage develops.
We believe this is the best preparation for future success and for leading a fulfilled life.
