About Breaside Preparatory School
Located in Bromley, Kent, Breaside Preparatory School provides a rich learning environment for your son or daughter. Our curriculum will prepare your children for the senior schools of choice through a balanced and broadly based education, from their first days in Kindergarten through to the age of 11.
We believe in getting the basics right and teaching the core subjects with a mixture of traditional teaching styles with the more modern approaches to learning. Coupled together with a strong work ethic and an enriching learning environment, we are confident that we help each child to develop towards their full potential.
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
