Excellent all year round facilities
Both of our Breaside schools, in Orchard Road and Widmore Road, are ideally located in Bromley near local train stations and bus routes. Our schools boast a wonderful variety of outdoor facilities that greatly enrich the learning experience of our pupils. These versatile all weather surfaces provide a safe and secure environment surrounded by trees and green spaces.
What makes these spaces truly exceptional is their year-round usability, ensuring that our students can enjoy the benefits of outdoor activities regardless of the season. These fantastic outdoor spaces not only encourage physical development but also foster a deep appreciation for the great outdoors in our young learners.

LOCATIONS - WIDMORE ROAD
Breaside Preparatory School at Widmore Road
In September 2023 we were thrilled to open Breaside at Widmore Road within a short walk from our Orchard Road school. This long-awaited project expands our capacity for new Breaside families and friends.
Our Widmore Road site allows us to grow our school from Pre-Prep to Year 6. Led by Executive Principal Mrs Nicholson, Breaside @ Widmore Road offers the same dynamic learning environment and holistic educational approach as Breaside @ Orchard Road.
This marks an exciting chapter for Breaside as we foster the same family values at Breaside @ Widmore Road. Notable enhancements have been made to Early Years classrooms, play areas, and expansive outdoor learning spaces, including a Forest School, a new coach house which accommodates a brand new kitchen and new hall.
LOCATIONS - ORCHARD ROAD
Breaside Preparatory School at Orchard Road
Breaside's Orchard Road location is where our school’s journey began, led by Executive Principal Mrs Nicholson. The site is filled with a vibrant energy, from our youngest pupils to our Year 6, creating a lively and engaging environment that characterises our entire school community. This dynamic spirit flows seamlessly between both our Orchard Road and Widmore Road sites, fostering a cohesive and inclusive atmosphere.
At Orchard Road, pupils benefit from a variety of exceptional facilities, including our on-site Forest School, Early Years playground, music room, library, science lab, art studio and an array of sporting opportunities. These resources help develop critical life skills in innovation, creativity, collaboration, and technology, laying the foundation for well-rounded individuals.
Our two sites work closely together, with pupils frequently mixing for assemblies, using shared facilities, and participating in joint activities. This ensures that whether they are at Orchard Road or Widmore Road, all pupils feel part of a single, united Breaside family.
