Things to note
In the Lower Fourth all pupils work towards the Bromsgrove Badge, which offers a variety of experiences from campcraft, orienteering and climbing to public speaking, local history and knowledge. One of the first challenges involves a challenging map-reading and walking exercise across the Malvern Hills. The course culminates in a weekend camp at Symond's Yat on the River Wye, where the pupils apply the skills they have acquired in a range of activities which include abseiling, camping, canoeing, cooking, and rock climbing.
Beyond CCF, DofE and Community Service, Clubs and Societies play a big part at Bromsgrove. Take, for example the thriving Debating Society. Pupil teams won the National competition and represented the country in the International Final of the European Youth Parliament in Kiev. On a local level, it regularly takes part in district competitions such as the Three Counties Debate in Malvern as well as the English-Speaking Union Competition and University debates at Oxford and Cambridge.
Bromsgrove's field trips and cultural visits acknowledge that they live in a global community, though the School does not ignore the many riches on its own doorstep.
From Art and Drama trips to such places as New York, Bilbao and Barcelona, to Business Studies tours to cities in Eastern and Central Europe, travel is varied and extensive. Recent expeditions to Asia and South America were especially successful. Annual fixtures include exchanges with pupils from European schools.
During activity sessions timetabled during the School Week, pupils make good use of specialist facilities and staff expertise in Art, Design, Technology, Computing, Drama, Electronics and Music. The options for all Bromsgrovians are huge. Bromsgrove runs extensive and intensive Saturday activitiy programmes which encourage initiative, discipline, qualities of leadership, self-motivation and the ability to work with and for others. In many respects the skills acquired from activities are as important as those gleaned from academic work.
Pupils may gain admission to Bromsgrove in most year groups. Main intake points are at Pre-School, 7+, 11+, 13+ and 16+. They encourage prospective families to visit the School by attending one or Open Mornings and they also welcome individual visits. Taster days are available for boarders and day pupils.
