FROM THE HEADMISTRESS

Thank you for your interest in Braeside School.

Braeside is a small Independent day school for girls aged three to sixteen, and its success over sixty years, demonstrates the advantages of single sex education in a small and close-knit community.

Research into what makes for success in education emphasises the advantages of schools for girls only. Braeside examination results support these findings, and its well qualified staff are determined to maintain its excellent and distinctive character.


The school is able to offer small class sizes throughout both Junior and Senior schools, with the significant advantage of teaching in small groups for many subjects in the Senior School, and in all subjects from Year 10.

The high pupil-teacher ratio and individual attention builds confidence both academically and socially, and enables our pupils to reach their full potential. Experience has shown that our girls make a confident and successful transition to further studies when they leave Braeside at age sixteen.

For further information please do not hesitate to contact the school office to receive a prospectus or to visit the school.

JUNIORS

The Junior School offers a caring atmosphere in which girls can develop to their true potential.  At Kindergarten level the focus is on the six learning areas and, as they move through the school, girls also acquire additional practical skills from their studies in  Art, Music, P.E. and Drama. Junior Class teachers are supported by specialists in French, Music and P.E.   

Girls are admitted to the Junior school part time, mornings only, in the September after their third birthday. The Lower Kindergarten gives a gentle introduction to school life. Girls are admitted full time in the Kindergarten class starting in the September after their fourth birthday. 


At the beginning of their final year in the Junior school girls transfer to the Senior school building. This enables them to experience the many activities of a senior school while retaining the security of the junior school routine. Contact with specialist staff, started in the Junior school, enables them to feel quickly at home in their new surroundings.
