Information AboutBryanston School |

Bryanston is a member of the Headmasters' And Headmistresses' Conference and the Eton Group . It has a reputation as being quite a Liberal and artistic school (using elements of the Dalton Plan ) that puts the student very much at the forefront of what they wish to pursue and achieve. This philosophy was largely backed up by the last headmaster, Tom Wheare . Wheare retired from the Head of Bryanston at the end of the 2005 school year to make way for Sarah Thomas , who started in September 2005. The school originally opened on 24 January 1928 with 23 pupils and seven members of staff. In 2004 , the school had around 650 pupils and 80 teachers. The school's motto is ''Et nova et vetera'' ( Latin for "both new and old"). The school estate has Europe's tallest London Plane tree (48.16m). This tree may also be England's tallest deciduous tree. Each year, the JACT Ancient Greek Summer School is held at Bryanston; the school has thus played host to many of the United Kingdom 's classicists, both as teachers and pupils. HEADS OF BRYANSTON
