From the moment you walk into the school you will find a tangible sense of community and a passionate approach towards the development of every child in our care.
I believe that we are a school which embraces the traditional values of family life along with a strong academic ethos. Whilst academic pursuits are a critical part of each child’s school life, we recognise that growing up is much more than just time spent in the classroom. At Blundell’s Prep the message to the children is clear. We want you to try everything, to find your passion and to become the very best person that you can be. You will find inspiration in the classroom, in the drama studio and on the games field. You will find it in Music, in Art and in the wonderful friendships that you will make.
We want every child to feel that they belong here and the school’s motto ‘Non Sibi’ encourages values of courtesy, empathy and selflessness which combine to create a very special atmosphere.
From rising 3 years old, your children will discover the joy of exploration within a superbly equipped Nursery. As they move through the school they become more independent and venture out into the beautiful grounds set amongst idyllic Devon countryside. They will enjoy time in our own woodland as well as our outdoor classroom, The Hub, helping them develop as individuals. With dedicated staff and high quality resources available to support your child they will grow and develop into young people with a thirst for learning and the confidence to face the challenges of the next stage of their education.
I would be delighted to take you on a tour so that you can experience first-hand the many qualities of this remarkable school. I look forward to meeting you soon.

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.
