Surrounded by rolling Devon hills and with Exmoor and Dartmoor on our doorsteps, life at Blundell’s Prep provides an opportunity for families to experience the very best that a Prep School education has to offer.
Life at Blundell's Prep School is a great deal more than just going to school and we warmly welcome our families to numerous events throughout the year – if nothing else, the Devon Cream Teas are worth a visit alone – cream and then jam, of course! The idyllic rural location provides the perfect backdrop for much of what we do here and we look to make the most of all that this wonderful part of the world has to offer.
The Blundell’s name is well known across the country and overseas, so it is no surprise that we attract some exceptional people when opportunities become available to join our team. Our ambitions as a school can only be met if those who work within it are fully committed to that vision, and at Blundell’s Prep we are blessed with a group of teaching and support staff who understand the importance of their contributions to the lives of every child in their care.
We are very fortunate to have a wonderfully supportive ‘Friends of Blundell’s Prep’ Committee. The committee’s mission is to organise exciting activities for parents and pupils to enjoy, and in doing so, to raise additional funds with which to contribute towards equipment or projects for the direct benefit of the children. In recent years, the Friends of Blundell's Prep (FoBP) Committee has bought an amazing pirate ship for the Pre-Prep playground, table tennis tables for the Prep children (also enjoyed by the teachers!), a 25 metre zip wire, and most recently, they have helped to make the Prep Library a warm and inviting place for the children to enjoy.
On Thursday the 23rd of January, we were delighted to welcome the internationally acclaimed composer Joanna Forbes L’Estrange to Blundell’s for an afternoon of workshops with the Senior and Prep School choirs. This year’s Spring Concert, The Seasons, includes the world premiere of A Season to Sing, a piece co-commissioned by Blundell’s.
We are delighted to share that Blundell's School has been ranked 244th in The Times' Parent Power list, a prestigious ranking based on GCSE and A-Level results.
Our position reflects the strong academic achievements of our pupils, particularly given the highly selective nature of many of the schools ranked alongside us.
The Department for Education has released its rankings for A Level progress following the final ratification of summer 2024 examination results.
We are delighted to announce that Blundell’s has secured 2nd place in Devon, narrowly being pipped to top spot by Exeter Maths School.
Blundell’s is proud to be among the top 5% of schools nationwide, earning the highest rating of “Well above average” from the Department for Education. These rankings are based on a comparison of A Level results, measuring students’ progress against peers across England who began with similar GCSE outcomes at the end of Year 11.
Blundell’s School pupils have achieved the school’s highest ever GCSE results, for exams taken under standard conditions.
This extraordinary achievement reflects the unwavering dedication and effort our pupils have poured into their studies.
Blundell’s School is delighted to announce another outstanding set of A-Level results, marking the second consecutive year our pupils have surpassed the significant threshold of 80% A*-B grades, since the return to normal grading post-COVID.
