We aim to provide as much information as possible as we know what a tough decision it can be when selecting the right school for your child.
To make things easier we have split our Admissions Journey between Prep School and Senior School. Our door is always open and we believe that a personal tour is invaluable, our Admissions Teams in both the Prep & Senior School have a wealth of experience and will be happy to help. There really is only one way to experience the very happy and fulfilling all-round education enjoyed by all our pupils and to appreciate the lovely grounds and excellent facilities we have to offer. We are looking forward to welcoming you soon.

Please contact our Admissions Team via email t.frankpitt@blundells.org or call 01884 232310 to arrange your visit or to ask any questions and we will be happy to help.
To secure your child’s place a completed Registration Form together with a fee of £100 will need to be returned to us.
Registration reserves a provisional place for your child, conditional on satisfying the entrance criteria. Our selection process is under-pinned by academic merit and assessment is via the relevant entry examinations, an interview at the school and by references/reports from the child’s previous school.
Bursaries & Scholarships
Blundell’s aims to attract high calibre candidates who will contribute to the community whilst making the most of the opportunities that the School has to offer. To this end we have an extensive programme of scholarships and bursaries.
The scholarship process is a competitive one in that awards are made on the basis of a pupil’s performance in their respective discipline. The process also includes a series of interviews where the pupil’s character and attitude are taken into account. We look to Scholars for leadership and initiative and to be good role models in their chosen area.
At the 11+ (Year 7) pupils may apply for Academic and Music Scholarships. At 13+ (Year 9) and 16+ (Year 12) scholarships are also awarded for Sport, Drama and Art in addition to Academic and Music Awards.
In addition to scholarships, the School also has a programme of Means Tested Bursaries. Candidates are required to apply in conjunction with applications for any of the scholarship award categories. These applications must be accompanied by a ‘Statement of Financial Means’ Form which is obtainable from the Registrar.
Finally, there are a small number of Head’s Awards which are made at the discretion of the Head.
Armed Services Families
We are proud of our long history of strong support to the UK’s Services families.
In recognition of the service given to the UK, we have a generous services package in place, for families who are able to claim the Continuity of Education Allowance (CEA).
