Bramcote School is a co-educational boarding prep school with an outstanding academic record. Pupils regularly progress with Scholarships to major Public Schools including Eton, Sedbergh, Shrewbury, Uppingham and Winchester; and in recent years all pupils have passed to their chosen school with excellent Common Entrance results.
A happy and caring atmosphere exists which enables pupils of all abilities to flourish. Small classes allow the maximum of individual attention and, where necessary, remedial tuition is provided by a fully qualified member of staff. The curriculum is based on the Scholarship requirements of the major Public Schools and the Common Entrance syllabus which incorporates the National Curriculum.
The dedicated staff provide a wide range of extra activities in the evenings and throughout the weekend. Extensive use is made of the local environment with regular visits to the beach, moors and woodland. Frequent visits are made to theatres in Scarborough, York, Leeds and Middlesborough for both theatrical productions and musical concerts.
The school has an excellent sporting reputation with the main team games being soccer, rugby, cricket, hockey, netball and rounders. In addition, the development of a new multi-purpose sports hall has allowed the introduction of many more sporting activities such as badminton, tennis, basketball, volleyball, gymnastics and judo. A heated indoor swimming pool allows the teaching of swimming throughout the year.
A computing room, fully equipped with eight Apple Mackintosh computers is used both for teaching purposes and free time activities. Also a modern art and design building is frequently used in the pupils' free time as well as for art and design lessons.

Performances are often made by the many musical groups including; Swing Band, Flute Group, Brass Ensemble and Orchestra.
