There are many aspects to life at Brymore, but it is possible to identify four principal dimensions, in addition to classroom work, which give pupils opportunities for success not often found in secondary schooling: the farm, the gardens, the workshops and sport. All of these are vital and important elements in the School and boys in their first year are involved in all of them. Later in their school careers, however, they may concentrate on particular interests. In any area boys are encouraged to develop high levels of knowledge, skills and self-confidence.

Farm

The livestock on the farm includes a dairy herd, beef animals, sows (and weaners to bacon weight), poultry and a flock of ewes with lambs. Cropping is mainly designed for the dairy herd, but as many other crops as possible are grown on a small scale in the farm or gardens including potatoes for sale to the public via our farm shop. |
