Wikidata WikipediaBromsgrove School is a co-educational independent day and boarding school in the Worcestershire town of Bromsgrove, England. Founded in 1553, it is one of the oldest public schools in Britain, and one of the 14 founding members of the Headmasters' Conference. Bromsgrove School has both boarding and day students consisting of three schools, pre-prep nursery school (ages 2–7), preparatory school (ages 7–13) and the senior school (13–18). Bromsgrove charges up to £14,055 per term, with three terms per academic year. The school has a total of 200 teaching staff, with 1,660 pupils. Spread across 100 acres, the main campus is located in the heart of the town of Bromsgrove. However, Bromsgrove School has also expanded overseas, with an additional boarding school in Bangkok (Bromsgrove International School Thailand) and a new school within the Mission Hills complex in Shenzhen, China, Bromsgrove School Mission Hills. The school's headmaster from September 2022 is Mr Michael Punt, who was previously Headmaster of Chigwell School.

As part of Sir Thomas' Foundation Deed of Midsummer 1693, the School moved from the Elizabethan Town Hall to its present site during the reign of King William and Queen Mary. We read 'Sir Thomas Cookes of Bentley, in the County of Worcester, Baronet, hath built at Bromsgrove a large and convenient School-house, with a very good Dwelling-house for a School-master'. Incised on a corner stone at the north-west angle of this building is the date '1695'.
