Bramfield House School is performing well overall, demonstrating a strong commitment to the welfare, health, and safety of its pupils.

The recent closure of the boarding facility has allowed for adjustments in the school’s provision, enabling it to better meet the complex needs of its pupils. This inspection, being the first to assess a material change following a standard inspection, indicates that if the proposed changes are implemented, the school is likely to meet the independent school standards required for its expansion.
