Schools & Education
Brooke Priory School
Established in 1989, Brooke Priory is an independent co-educational Preparatory School based in Oakham. Brooke Priory creates a unique environment where childhood is cherished and children are encouraged ‘to be the best they can be.’ Family pervades all we do within the school by valuing hard work and ensuring each day is special for every child. We teach children to become independent, reflective learners. We foster excellent relationships with our pupils who succeed and thrive in an environment of mutual respect. Our small class sizes promote a supportive culture in the classroom and whilst children remain competitive, they also celebrate and encourage each other’s success. Whilst academic distinctions are always a priority we focus on the ‘whole child’ in all aspects of school life. Sport is high profile at Brooke Priory, we offer a full and varied list developing a lifelong love of competitive sport. We have a thriving music and creative arts department, mindfulness activities and an unrivalled extra-curricular programme. We encourage a healthy mind and body promoting nutritious snacks and outdoor countryside pursuits via ‘Welly Days.’ We recognise that some children will require greater support to increase their emotional literacy than others. Children perform better if their emotional needs are addressed, we have an ELSA (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant) programme and we also have our Emotional Support dog Elsie! n To find out more or to request a prospectus, contact Admissions on 01572 724778 or email:
