Blundell’s Preparatory School is a warm, family-centred school where every child is known as an individual. Staff take a genuine interest in each pupil, working closely with parents to ensure children feel happy, secure and confident. This nurturing environment enables pupils to thrive and fulfil their potential. Set in a beautiful rural location, the school is within easy reach of Tiverton, less than ten minutes from both the M5 motorway and Tiverton Parkway station.
The school enjoys an excellent reputation for academic achievement, with strong foundations in Mathematics, English and Science. These core subjects are complemented by a broad and stimulating curriculum delivered by specialist teachers in dedicated facilities, including a fully equipped Science Laboratory, Dance Studio, Art and Design Centre, and Food Technology Suite.
Creative opportunities form an important part of school life. Drama, music and art flourish, with all children encouraged to participate both in lessons and through co-curricular activities. Specialist music teachers offer tuition across a wide range of instruments, while dedicated facilities support an engaging programme of performances and productions.
Sport is a particular strength, with a long-standing reputation for developing confident, well-rounded athletes while nurturing individual talent. Winter sports include rugby, football, netball, hockey and cross-country, while cricket, tennis, athletics and swimming feature prominently during the summer term. Pupils also benefit from access to the extensive sporting facilities of the Blundell’s senior school campus.
A varied co-curricular programme further enriches school life, offering activities such as ballet, chess, fencing, golf, art, judo, Bushcraft Club, Wild Wonders and woodwork. These opportunities encourage pupils to develop new interests, build confidence and enjoy learning beyond the classroom.
