About the school
Bromsgrove School is an independent co-educational day and boarding school in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, teaching from nursery through to Sixth Form, with a diverse community of day pupils and boarders from the UK and overseas.
It combines academic education and boarding with a wide range of opportunities: sport, music, drama, dance, debating, Model United Nations, the Duke of Edinburgh's Award and Young Enterprise. The School states that there are 293 activity options built into the school day, including tennis, swimming and racing car engineering.
Admission is selective, with key entry points at 13+ (Year 9) and Sixth Form (16+). At 13+ candidates sit the School's entrance examinations (Common Entrance is also accepted); the current assessment includes online CAT4 testing followed by English tests and a Creative Writing task.
Sixth Form applicants from another British school are admitted on an interview, a confidential reference and GCSE results. Scholar Gateway can give further guidance on the process.
