What makes a good school? Of course we want our children to succeed academically but what about the wider aspects of
school life? The atmosphere, the ethos, politeness, enthusiasm and commitment of the pupils; all of these are essential parts of what makes an excellent school, and it is in such a school that your daughter will achieve her potential.
At Bromley High School those ‘extras’ are essential. By providing excellent pastoral care, stimulating and challenging lessons for girls of a wide range of abilities, and by having an outstanding range of extracurricular opportunities, we constantly outperform local schools by every measure.
Here you find happy, communicative, confident and well-rounded girls. Girls whose personal development is nurtured and encouraged by our excellent staff and whose academic performance benefits from all the additional activities that we offer to challenge, motivate and inspire them. Come and see for yourself !
Please come along to one of our open events. We also have taster days for prospective pupils which you are very welcome to attend.
