BROMLEY HIGH

LEARNING TO LEAD
We are a school where both excellence and endeavour are valued; where
academic achievement and extra-curricular commitment are expected of
every girl; where every girl’s intellectual potential is nurtured.

In our Sixth Form there are so many
possibilities to juggle

This year Bromley High girls excelled again with a stunning 22% of
grades at A* and 88% of grades at A*-B. Our four Cambridge applicants
achieved a haul of 12 A*s between them and the school's first Princeton
Sports Scholar flew to America to take up her place.
In 25 leafy acres, girls have space
to grow and have fun and they
make rapid progress academically
and socially. They are happy to
express intellectual enthusiasm;
free to pursue their interests
without regard to preconceptions
about ‘boys’ subjects or ‘girls’
subjects; confident to take the lead
in the multitude of opportunities
we offer. Our girls participate
with enthusiasm and commitment in Music, Drama, Sport and an
overabundant range of activities—and where they have interest or talent
or enthusiasm, it is nurtured so that they learn to excel. This year alone,
our girls have sung on the stage of the Queen Elizabeth Hall, played in
national youth orchestras, won starring roles in television and the West
End and competed at a national level in Swimming, Diving, Athletics,
Tennis, Netball, Biathlon and Cross Country.
Aspirational and innovative,
Bromley High School was
shortlisted in 2015 (alongside
Wellington, Brighton College,
Kilgraston and Newcastle Grammar
School) for Outstanding Progress in
a UK Independent School.
Bromley High School is part of
the Girls’ Day School Trust, the
leading network of independent
girls’ schools in the UK and an
extraordinarily effective network
for innovation in teaching and learning and for the sharing of best
practice whether it is excellence in hockey, Oxbridge Entrance or Career
Networking with its alumnae network of 65,000 women. We believe that
a girls’ school education, where girls gain the experience and expectation
of taking the lead, gives our young women the competitive edge in
employment but also gives them a network of female
