Pupils have a range of opportunities to develop their creative writing through ECAs such as 'Writer's Room' (led by Nick Kelly and Simon Wheeler) or programmes such as the Creative Writing Studio led by David Caddy.

To improve literacy across the School, a number of initiatives have been organised to encourage pupils to read for pleasure and make it an indispensable part of the Bryanston experience.

The English Department regularly hosts a prep schools’ English day devoted to the work of a children’s author. 

Each year pupils have the opportunity to study for the English Speaking Board’s (ESB) Grade 8 Advanced Certificate in Spoken English, a nationally recognised and accredited qualification.
