About Brambletye
Brambletye is one of the country's leading co-educational prep schools, with 270 boys and girls currently on the roll. It was founded at Sidcup Place, Kent in 1919 and moved to its present glorious location in rolling Sussex countryside on the southern outskirts of East Grinstead in 1933. The large country house, in its own wooded estate of 100 acres, overlooks Ashdown Forest and Weir Wood Reservoir. The school became a charitable trust with a board of Governors fifty years later, in 1969. The School has evolved from being a small, all boys boarding school to its present position as a co-educational day and boarding school. Boys and girls continue to go on to many of the leading independent schools in the country, such as King’s Canterbury, Benenden, Charterhouse, Marlborough, Eton, Winchester, Stowe and Lancing .
