About Branwood Preparatory School
Now located in Monton, Branwood Prep. School was founded in Eccles, Manchester in 1928. We are an independent, co-educational day preparatory school catering to children between the ages of three and eleven.
Our children are happy, inquisitive and energetic – they enjoy being children in their educational environment. They learn to be part of their community, to live and work together, to share the traditional values of courtesy and good manners, to respect others, to have confidence, to think for themselves and to stand up for what they believe to be right. As a preparatory school we prepare our children for their lives ahead. The children learn to grasp every opportunity offered to them and they leave Branwood justifiably proud of their school and their achievements.
Branwood Preparatory School was founded in 1928 as Branwood House School by a Miss Littlejohn. Initially the school was housed in two ‘very bare’ rooms in the Friends Meeting House on Half Edge Lane, just a stone’s throw from our current location in Monton.
