Unique and Uplifting

Founded by educator philosopher, Jiddu Krishnamurti, in 1969, Brockwood Park School is an international boarding school for 14-19 year olds, in the heart of the Hampshire countryside. It provides an holistic education for around 60 students and is the only school of its kind in Europe.

A Brockwood Education

ALL QUOTES ARE BY J. KRISHNAMURTI

‘The whole movement of life is learning.’

Begin by taking away punishment and reward. No grades, no comparison, no competition, no prizes. Assist each student to create their own programme of studies that challenges and extends them. Encourage them to take on projects and develop portfolios. Give them the space and freedom to make mistakes and don’t judge them when they do. Nurture the spark they have, so that they discover their talent and what it is they love to do. Support them in passing exams if they wish, but don’t forget that there is more to life than acquiring knowledge and testing it – that kind of knowledge is always limited and always measureable, whilst life is unlimited and immeasurable. Do this in an atmosphere of friendly equality and you have what Brockwood Park School offers: learning that opens eyes to the whole of life.

‘When you pay attention to it, it becomes quiet — try it.’

If you sit together quietly each morning for some time, as a whole school, it begins to have an effect. Naturally, everyone becomes more self-reflective, everyone is better able to give attention to another, listen to another, learn from another. If you create a school in which self-knowledge is valued and self-reflection encouraged, then something very different happens.  There is an atmosphere like no other. It’s unusual for schools to do this, it’s rare for teenagers to encounter it, but this has been happening at Brockwood since the day it began.

‘Home means where you have energy, where you are creative, where you are happy…’

Brockwood Park School students comfortably settled in what becomes their second home

Most of us love to be at home, but imagine feeling equally at home in a school that is like a large family. The feeling of being at home generates creative energy and supports every student in their learning. The Brockwood family is from 25 countries or more, so the feeling begins to embrace the world, with all its diversity. This is their second home and the students feel it and respond to it; they help run the school, take responsibility for it, care for it (together with staff, they clean the whole school every morning for 30 minutes). They love living here. They form friendships at Brockwood that last them a lifetime. Along with staff they create an atmosphere that is inclusive, affectionate and free of fear.

‘If you lose touch with nature, you lose touch with humanity.’

We want every student to learn how to sow seeds, dig the earth, weed the garden, care for plants and harvest fresh fruit and vegetables. Our future depends on caring for this planet and the natural world, and yet education seldom gives much importance to this. At Brockwood we do. Students are surrounded by the stunning landscape of the Southdowns National Park and by our 40 acres of parkland and gardens. Brockwood allows our students to get lost in nature, to learn about its wonders and to get their hands dirty in the process.

Testimonials

‘Brockwood has been a pioneer in British education in so many ways, not the least in its use of stillness or mindfulness, years before these entered the educational mainstream. The focus on enquiry and active learning is another area where the school has been in the vanguard of educational thinking.

SIR ANTHONY SELDON

‘The spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of the pupils is excellent.’

Two key abilities I truly believe I could not have developed anywhere else, are the ability to ‘listen’ and to ‘question’.

The Life After Brockwood team provides dedicated one-to-one support and advice to students as they apply to university or for apprenticeships, art college or prepare to travel, volunteer or work around the world. Brockwood students are given real responsibility and agency in their own learning. Together with their teachers, they cultivate powerful critical thinking skills, creativity and a deep authentic motivation that allows them to flourish in life, professionally and personally. Brockwood students end up in a kaleidoscopic range of invaluable roles across the world, having been given the opportunity and encouragement to find out what really moves them. They are consistently offered places at a full range of local and international universities, winning scholarships and bursaries for their unique and outstanding work. Motivated, excellent, empathic and responsible, our students exemplify what it means to learn throughout life and in the whole of life.
