We were thrilled to announce the opening of our second site on Widmore Road within a short walk from our Orchard Road school in September 2023. This long-awaited project expands our capacity for new Breaside families and friends.
Our new Widmore Road site allows us to grow our school. Phase 1 provided opportunities for Pre-Prep, Reception, Year 1 and from January 2024 we have been fully functional and accepting children from Year 2-Year 6. Led by Executive Principal Mrs Nicholson, this site offers the same dynamic learning environment and holistic educational approach as Breaside @ Orchard Road.
This marks an exciting chapter for Breaside as we foster the same family values at Breaside @ Widmore Road. Notable enhancements have been made to Early Years classrooms, play areas, and expansive outdoor learning spaces, including a Forest School, a new coach house which accommodates a brand new kitchen and new hall.
Ethos & School Values
Unique opportunities where children celebrate individuality
Breaside has a character all of its own – a real ‘buzz’ around the building, from our youngest children in the Early Years all the way up to our Year 6 children preparing for the next steps in their journey.
It is this buzz that captures the heart of Breaside, a truly unique place where importance is placed on celebrating the individual and the belief that all of our children can be anything that they want to be. Our school is a place where children are happy, confident and proud of their achievements, both inside and out of the classroom.
Inspiring a true love of learning
