Welcome to the Blundell’s Preparatory school website. I hope you
will find the website interesting, enjoyable and informative. Blundell’s
Preparatory School is a school ranging from 270 to 300 pupils from three to eleven. A good proportion of our children join us
in our Nursery and then progress through the school, although children
do join us at a variety of ages. Most of our children flow through to
our Senior School, but we prepare children
at eleven years of age for a variety of other senior schools.
Blundell’s Preparatory school offers small class sizes. We have an excellent record of scholarship and our academic standards are high, across a broad ability range. As a school, we work hard on individual confidence, offering a huge range of curricular and extra-curricular activity. We offer an extensive range of clubs and activities, as well as extras on the curriculum such as Food Technology, Study Skills, Design Technology and stand alone Drama and Art. We do this within our own beautiful campus in the heart of the Devon countryside. The environment is secure and we have an extremely dedicated staff, who teach in a well resourced school.
Although we have strong links with our senior school and share some sporting and theatrical facilities, we have our own staff and management team and operate as a separate school. Children will sit entrance examinations for Blundell’s and other schools in the January of their Year six year. Our children receive “priority entry” to our Senior School if this is their choice.
Blundell’s Preparatory School offers wide choice in a caring and happy environment. I have personally experienced this as I have one child who has already passed through the school, now at the Senior School, and another child still enjoying the Prep School. Our motto “Non Sibi,” Not for Oneself, is central to the ethos in the school.
If you are interested in visiting us, I would be delighted to meet you and to have the opportunity to show you what we have to offer. Please telephone the School to arrange an appointment.
Thank you for your interest in Blundell’s Preparatory School.
