Bryanston School

Bryanston School in Dorset is the only school in the UK to offer ‘Buddies without Borders’, a new extra-curricular offering.

The initiative, set up by Global Education Destinations, has a motto of ‘Think Globally, Act Locally’. At Bryanston, we encourage our pupils to experience that international mindedness is best learned through cross-cultural friendship and global citizenship. We work tirelessly to ensure that each pupil not only achieves the results they deserve, but also learns to think independently, be self-reliant and explore new interests.

Buddies without Borders is an excellent example of how we encourage independent learning, with two of our sixth formers setting up the club, encouraged by our International Universities Advisor.

The BWB school club meets weekly online with other students aged 12-18 around the world. Students are grouped as equal global citizens into teams, assigned a country as their joint identity and together they will debate and co-author recommendation papers to solve challenges. It’s an ideal extracurricular activity for those pupils at Bryanston considering international applications.

At Bryanston we are proud to be different from other independent schools. Inspired by over 90 years of innovative practice, our approach to education and our distinctive culture nurtures purposeful, curious and well-rounded individuals.

We welcome applications from international pupils into Years 9 and 12 and occasionally Year 10 and would love the opportunity to help you and your child take the first steps towards joining us. Please visit bryanston.co.uk for more information.
