Curriculum
Brantwood offers a broad and balanced curriculum, which aims to provide opportunities for all girls to learn and achieve their potential. Great emphasis is placed on the importance of an all-round education with a balance of Arts, Sciences and creative subjects.
Classroom activities are often supplemented by excursions, theatre visits, workshops, field work and study days. Small class sizes ensure that each girl receives individual attention so that progress and achievement can be closely monitored. Our professional concern is for all our students – from the most gifted to the less academically able.
Each girl is actively encouraged to contribute fully to school life and to involve herself in a range of extra-curricular activities during the lunch hour and after school.
Our individual approach enables each girl to make her own unique contribution to the life of the school.
