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.
Nestled in 12 acres of stunning Devon countryside, Blundell's Prep is a school where learning goes beyond the classroom. Our Open Morning on Monday, 27th January, is your chance to explore our vibrant community and see how we inspire young minds.
We pride ourselves on our small, superbly equipped classes, generous staff-to-pupil ratios, and the personalized academic and pastoral care we provide. With endless outdoor learning opportunities, our pupils thrive both in and out of the classroom.

During this Autumn Term, our Drama Scholars delivered an impressive Autumn Showcase featuring their examination pieces. The performances spanned Restoration Comedy, Comedy of Manners, Musical Theatre, contemporary works, and original material.
