Bromsgrove School. None of us was Californian so we didn’t go for it,
admits
but, frankly, it’s as good a word as any to describe the offer of one of Britain’s oldest and largest independent schools.
Utterly dedicated to the individual pupil, despite its size, Bromsgrove shuns public school drones and instead looks to produce creative citizens with a strong moral compass and a dash of pizzazz to boot. We are currently halfway through
a unique path to success

school… with a fantastically global perspective.” And so on. But it’s all froth on a marketeer’s
daydream unless the pupils are happy, focused and keen to make a difference for the better. They are. One thousand six hundred of them from two to 18 years old. Thirteen hundred are British but another 300 from 35 nations around the world make Bromsgrove unique. Ancient but as contemporary

Appleford’s expertise in dyslexia
APPLEFORD School was established in 1988 by two experts in the field: Gerald Trump, who founded the first school for dyslexic children in the UK; and Dr Peter Gardner, a highly-qualified and experienced psychologist and psychotherapist. Appleford’s aim is to provide a high-quality education for children
aged seven to 14 with dyslexia and associated learning difficulties to include dyscalculia, dyspraxia, ASD and ADHD. To this end the school only accepts children with an appropriate assessment from an Educational Psychologist and/or a statement of special educational needs. The school is a co-educational day and boarding school, and warmly
welcomes applications from children of families in the Services. Appleford wants its children to realise their full potential and to
develop self-respect, self-reliance and self-discipline. The school aspires to return children to mainstream education where possible.
