Bryanston has been highly praised in the latest Tatler Schools Guide 2026, which celebrates the school’s distinctive culture built on its motto “Both the new and the old.” The review highlights Bryanston’s ability to combine time-honoured values with a forward-thinking, creative approach to education.
Head Richard Jones is described as “an inspiration” by staff, with pupils noting his ever-present smile and parents admiring his clarity and straightforward leadership.
The magazine draws special attention to Bryanston’s renowned personal tutor system, calling it “a lot more comprehensive than those run elsewhere.” The school’s pioneering Department of Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Employability, established in 2024, is also praised for its modern and practical approach to preparing pupils for life beyond the classroom.
In the Sixth Form, Bryanston’s unique one-on-one CPs ensure personalised academic support. The review also notes that many families choose to send multiple children to the school, reflecting confidence in its ability to nurture every student.
It also mentions its academic results speaking volumes: last year’s IB cohort achieved a record-breaking 38-point average, with two pupils attaining the maximum 45 points – placing them in the top 0.5% worldwide.
According to Tatler, Bryanston continues to prove itself as a place where “the best of the past meets the promise of the future.”
