About Us

Braeside is a privately-owned independent all-through school in Buckhurst Hill, on the borders of South-West Essex and North-East London, for around 180 pupils aged 2½ to 16.

We offer a high standard of education and a fulfilling learning experience in a happy, secure and caring environment. With an emphasis on respect, we allow pupils to fulfil their potential by working together for the benefit of each other. We nurture, praise and encourage.
