Bryanston School, Independent boarding school in Blandford Forum, England
Bryanston School is an independent boarding school spread across a large estate in the Dorset countryside. The main building is a neo-Georgian manor house designed by Richard Norman Shaw, which serves as the heart of the expansive campus.
The school was founded in 1928 and received financial backing from the Earl of Shaftesbury. It started as a small operation and has grown into an established educational institution over the decades.
The school's motto "Et Nova Et Vetera" reflects its approach of blending forward-thinking education with classical traditions. This philosophy shapes how the different departments organize their work and spaces throughout the campus.
The campus includes extensive grounds and multiple buildings that are easily navigable on foot. The school provides residential facilities for students and operates subject-specific libraries throughout the site.
The grounds are home to one of Europe's tallest London Plane trees, which rises prominently above the landscape. The campus also serves each year as a venue for performances during the Dorset Opera Festival.
