DAY SCHOOL FROM AGE 3-18 • Boarding from 11-18

A co-educational independent school

 

When you choose Blundell’s as the school for your son or daughter you open up a world of opportunities for them. Wherever a pupil starts their journey, we are confident that the thread of the Blundell’s Experience is consistently woven throughout their daily lives.

We help pupils to find meaning and purpose in their endeavours and fuel them with the optimism they need to believe that they can make a difference. We want pupils to love being at school and to throw themselves into the opportunities this wonderful place has to offer.

At Blundell’s we focus on teaching pupils how to have good relationships, both with each other and with the adults in their lives. Overall, we want their lives at school to be deeply engaging. 

Happiness, we believe, is a consequence of doing these things well, rather than an end unto itself.

Mr Bart Wielenga, BCom, BEd
Head of Blundell's
At Blundell’s we see education as being so much more than exam results. We see education as being about developing young women and men who are ready to make a meaningful difference to their communities.

Academics

Intelligent

Education

At Blundell’s we think deeply about why we do things. We are committed to creating processes that are coherent and flexible, responsive to changing needs and circumstances, but at the same time, true to what we believe makes for a good education. We believe that a good education is one which helps pupils become excellent learners, with an ability to apply their knowledge and skills in any environment and in any context. That is what we mean by ‘intelligent education'.

WHERE WE ARE

An Idyllic Location

 

Where city convenience meets rural beauty - only two hours to London, one hour to Bristol; with stunning coastlines and countryside nearby.

The general ambience of Blundell’s is greatly influenced and enhanced by the tranquillity of the surrounding, rolling Devon countryside and the historic buildings, built from the warm, local red sandstone. Blundell’s is situated on the edge of the small market town of Tiverton and has excellent transport links. Whether pupils are Boarders (Full, Weekly, Flexi) or Day, the superb road and rail network nearby makes travelling to and from school straightforward.
