Brunel College

Wiltshire, South West · SP2 7PY

Brunel College is a notably small independent school in Wiltshire, with around 26 pupils on roll and a co-educational, non-denominational intake from age 11. Its size places it well below the scale of most secondary schools, which tends to mean close staff-pupil contact and a setting where individuals are unlikely to go unnoticed. Half of its pupils are recorded as receiving SEN support, a high proportion that suggests the school may suit families seeking a more personal, adapted approach. Inspection is by the ISI, and the head is Mr Craig Noble.

Teaching & academics

Published attainment figures sit far below national benchmarks: an Attainment 8 score of 0.5 against a national average of 46.9, and 0% of pupils achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths compared with 47% nationally. With such a tiny cohort, headline percentages can be heavily skewed by very small numbers and should be read with that caveat in mind. Parents will want to discuss directly how the school measures and supports progress, particularly given its high level of SEN provision.

The last word

A very small, SEN-focused independent in Wiltshire where individual attention is the likely draw. Parents should look closely at the published results and ask how progress is tracked for each child.
