Meet our Head, Richard Jones

    At Bryanston, we blend traditional values with a modern, creative approach to education, encapsulated in our school motto, et nova et vetera – the best of both new and old. This philosophy, inspired by our founder, forms the bedrock of Bryanston’s distinctive culture.

    Bryanston is not confined by tradition but defined by a forward-thinking and open-minded ethos. Since 1928, our guiding principles of creativity and individual spirit, along with unbounded thinking have ensured we evolve while staying true to our identity.

    We continually ask ourselves: What world are we preparing our young people for and how do we continue to evolve amidst changes in education, commerce and digital innovation?

    A video introduction from Richard

    We have always defied conventional wisdom that academic success is all that matters. Our broad curriculum reflects our commitment to tailoring education to meet individual needs, ensuring pupils explore diverse careers rather than conforming to norms. We champion individual learning through our tutorial system and beyond classrooms via the Bryanston Method.

    Education transcends subjects, shaping outlooks and attitudes. Creativity is woven into Bryanston’s fabric across four pillars: Creative and Performing Arts, Sports, Entrepreneurship & Innovation and the Digital World. This cultivates independence, realism, open mindedness and authenticity.

    Our environment gives youngsters the space they need to grow, imagine, challenge themselves, feel inspired and learn throughout their most formative years, guided by experienced and supportive staff.

    Bryanstonians embody a spirit of enquiry, challenge convention and leave as confident, curious young adults ready for life beyond.
