IN ASSOCIATION WITH

Breaside celebrates another year of
outstanding examination results
Over 90% of Breaside’s students are selected for grammar or independent school places.
Breaside Preparatory School prepares pupils
from 2 1/2 to 11 years for both grammar and
independent senior schools in a caring and
nurturing environment. Once again, SATs and
11+ entry results for 2014 were outstanding.
Pupils also received academic, creative and
sports scholarships to Eltham College, Trinity,
Colfes, Walthamstow Hall and Bromley High,
together with places offered at local grammar
schools, including St Olave’s, Newstead Woods,
Chislehurst and Sidcup, The Judd, Dartford,
Tonbridge, Beths and Wilmington.
Should I choose Breaside Preparatory School
for my child?
As the name suggests, the role of preparatory
schools is to prepare your child for their entrance
into senior education, so don’t be surprised to
see a plethora of subjects on the curriculum at
Breaside. Here, your child will experience a wellrounded education, albeit in a nurturing
environment. Classes are significantly smaller,
which not only allows all pupils to progress, but
provides the opportunity for staff to get to know
their pupils, and therefore, offer a bespoke
curriculum. Self-confidence is encouraged and
children are constantly motivated to enjoy and
embrace all of the opportunities that arise within
this positive learning environment.

The academic curriculum within a preparatory
school is clearly of the utmost importance.
Throughout your child’s time at their preparatory
school, they will be prepared for the common
entrance and scholarship tests, for which
preparatory schools’ academic credentials are
renowned.
If the above isn’t enough to tempt you,
consider the other aspects of a stimulating, allround education. Your child will have the
opportunity to experience a wide range of music,
from playing in an orchestra to participating in
the choir. Let’s not forget the range of sporting
events that your child can take part in too; children
in a preparatory school experience a range of
sports, including rugby, hockey, swimming and
cricket.
