Bramcote Lorne is an Educational Trust with a Board of Governors. It was founded in September 1996 with the uniting of the two, long established schools of Bramcote and Lorne House.
The School stands in its own grounds of 20 acres in the village of Gamston, 3 miles from Retford Station and 1 mile from the A1.
Although Bramcote Lorne is a newly formed School we believe in the traditional values of encouraging children to want to learn, to enjoy discovery and to have a high degree of social awareness. The happiness of each individual is a priority, as are good manners, tolerance and social responsibility. It is essentially a Christian, family school, where parents are encouraged to take an interest in the varied life of their children. Classes are small and close attention is paid to the individual needs of each child. The relaxed, happy atmosphere does not inhibit excellent scholastic, artistic, musical and sporting achievements but rather encourages them.
Children are prepared for Common Entrance, Scholarship and 11+ examinations to all Independent and Grammar Schools and special help on a one-to-one basis is available where needed. There is a wide range of Academic, Artistic, Musical and Technological opportunity for each child and weekends see an exciting variety of extra-curricular activities which are optional for Day Pupils and include family activities. Games play an important part in the life of the School with coaching to a high standard in all the major games. Minority games are also well represented and there are many opportunities for the not-so-keen games player.
Facilities and resources are excellent and a new Nursery and Pre-Preparatory Department has recently been opened. The School is the focal point of the village life and we value the part we play within the Church and the local community.
The School mini-bus fleet provides transport to and from home and day pupils attend from Retford, Bawtry, Doncaster, Lincoln, Southwell, Newark, Mansfield and Worksop. Boarding is flexible and can take the form of Full Boarding, Weekly Boarding or the very popular Occasional Boarding, depending on the needs of the family. Flexibility and convenience for busy parents are major considerations. Pastoral care is of an exceptionally high standard and parents are always welcome at School.
Charitable Status: Bramcote Lorne School is a Registered Charity, number 528262, and it exists to provide a high standard of education for boys and girls.
