Children are engaged with learning and given the support, encouragement and freedom they need to develop through exploring new opportunities.

We acknowledge and appreciate each child's individual strengths and characteristics.  They are installed with confidence in our happy, caring environment whilst developing excellent life values and skills.  This sits alongside their educational development to ensure every child is inspired to reach their potential.

Where all children flourish

Every child is encouraged to strive for excellence by developing their own strengths and unique talents, giving them the confidence to take on new challenges and achieve their full potential.

Ultimately, we are committed to offering a first class academic education within a forward-thinking and dynamic curriculum, in a way that is rewarding for children, parents and staff. We offer a rich and diverse experience for the whole school community including a wide range of academic, sporting, language and performing arts opportunities, plus an extensive extra-curricular programme.

Enjoyment and excellence are at the heart of an education that encompasses academic study, leadership, cultural pursuits, communication and excellent pastoral care. It is our aim to develop young people to enable them to realise their potential and contribute fully to the world in which they grow up.

Brabyns Preparatory School is part of Bellevue Education

Bellevue Education is committed to excellence in education. Each Bellevue school is run independently but shares the same values: we believe in broad curricula delivered in innovative ways that excite and engage children; we believe in investment – in teachers, buildings and technology; and we believe that exceptional results should be a by-product of the education that we offer, not the exclusive focus.

We recruit the best teachers and head teachers and make sure that they are fully supported with innovative resources, shared best practice and focused training. We involve parents in their children’s education with not only regular meetings and written reports, but also with head teacher blogs, social media and parent workshops. Most importantly, we treat every child as an individual with their own unique set of talents.

Bellevue pupils are encouraged to aim high, and we provide them with everything they need to succeed.
