Break Through School
Bexley, Greater London · DA17 5JX
Break Through School is a notably small independent school in Bexley, Greater London, with just 41 pupils on roll and no religious affiliation. Led by Mrs Ruth Elliott and inspected by the ISI, it offers a GCSE curriculum to a mixed intake from age 11. The intimate scale means very small class groups, and nearly a fifth of pupils receive SEN support, suggesting an environment geared towards individual attention. Families considering the school should look closely at how it works in practice, as the published attainment data sits well below national benchmarks.
