Admissions

Blundell's mainly admits at 11+, 13+ and sixth form, though the school also guides families applying at other points where places exist. Published admissions information encourages early visits, clear communication with the registrar and a process that combines assessment with a broader view of fit and potential.

How the school describes itself

  • Blundell's is intellectually curious, grounded and ambitious for the long term.
  • The school emphasises character, opportunity and the benefits of a full all-round education.
  • The school is confident, purposeful and strongly community-minded.

Parents like

  • An established Devon boarding school with a strong identity and enough scale to feel properly senior without becoming impersonal.
  • The blend of day and boarding life, plus the foundation breadth, gives it flexibility for local and non-local families alike.
  • It is likely to appeal to parents who want a traditional independent-school framework with real substance behind it.

Inspection snapshot

Blundell's says its December 2025 ISI inspection found the school fully compliant and identified two significant strengths. That public summary reinforces the school's long-standing message of academic seriousness, strong pastoral structures and a broad boarding-and-day culture.

Published admissions information encourages early visits, clear communication with the registrar and a process that combines assessment with a broader view of fit and potential.

Scholarships

Blundell's publishes scholarships and exhibitions at 11+, 13+ and 16+ across academic work, art, drama, music, sport and related areas. Means-tested foundation bursaries sit alongside those awards, and the school also highlights support for eligible military families.

Bursaries

Blundell’s publishes scholarships and bursaries information and says bursaries are awarded in cases of financial need. Its public material describes bursaries as support that can sit alongside scholarships where the cost of fees would otherwise be a serious barrier.

  • The school publishes bursary information on the main admissions pages; families should confirm current entry-point arrangements directly.
  • No fixed remission cap is published for the general bursary scheme.
  • Families should contact admissions and the school bursary team for current criteria and documentation requirements.
