Bryanston School is a public school (English private boarding and day school for pupils aged 13–18) located next to the village of Bryanston, and near the town of Blandford Forum, in Dorset in South West England. It was founded in 1928. It occupies a palatial country house designed and built in 1889–94 by Richard Norman Shaw for Viscount Portman, the owner of large tracts in the West End of London, in the early version of neo-Georgian style[1] that Sir Edwin Lutyens called "Wrenaissance", to replace an earlier house, and is set in 400 acres (1.6 km2).
Bryanston is a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference and the Eton Group.[2] It has a reputation as a liberal and artistic school using some ideas of the Dalton Plan.[3]
