Bruton School for Girls

At Bruton School for Girls we seek to create a structured but stimulating learning environment where girls become confident and adaptable young women, who are well-prepared to succeed in life. The high academic standards achieved reflect our commitment to challenging all the students to aim for excellence. Teachers encourage girls to look beyond their textbooks or the exam specification, to extend the scope of their learning and to fulfil their potential. The pastoral arrangements ensure that students experience effective support and guidance. Aspirations are high and many of the girls go on to study at prestigious universities.

Great importance is attached to learning beyond the classroom. Girls of all ages experience an education that helps them become independent, rounded individuals who possess a lively intellect, have the ability to take the initiative and show respect for others. Art, music, drama and sport thrive, allowing girls to develop their individual talents and skills. A diverse programme of extra-curricular activities and community-linked events provides a wealth of opportunities for cultural, social, spiritual and personal learning. This is integral to the education we provide and has a significant role in preparing girls for the challenges of adult life and raising awareness of the wider issues facing a global society.

Bruton is Somerset’s only girls’ school and we are proud of our reputation as the top school in the county. We are a “thinking school” based on mutual respect where individuals can succeed, gaining self-confidence without arrogance. To find out more, visit www.brutonschool.co.uk.
