History of the School

Brooke Priory School was founded in 1989 in the grounds of Brooke Priory just outside Oakham, by Mrs Susan Allen and her daughter, Mrs Elizabeth Bell.  The children enjoyed spending a lot of time outside in the Rutland countryside which surrounds Brooke Priory.  We are delighted that both of our founders are still very much involved in the school.

As pupil numbers grew, the school moved to a purpose-built site in Oakham with high quality facilities, including an adventure playground, all-weather sports surface, Art and DT room, Library, Music rooms, Nursery, Sports Hall and Theatre.  The breadth and enrichment provided at Brooke Priory has given rise to notable sporting and musical achievements, drama productions and academic awards. All of the children at Brooke Priory receive an outstanding education.

The initial passion for the outside world, which led to the creation of the School, remains firmly embedded in the ethos and curriculum. Today, the children continue to experience the world beyond the classroom building dens, getting muddy and savouring the beautiful Rutland countryside!
