The Library provides a collaborative space where classes come with their teachers to do research as well as a welcoming environment for both day and boarding students during their free time. It has a comprehensive collection of up to date resources as well as online databases which are curriculum related, and also novels, comics, and magazines of interest to teenagers and young adults. Our professional Librarian works closely with teachers to promote literacy and to help our students to develop their research skills. Every year, we welcome an author in our school during our Reading Week, a week filled with activities and games to foster the love of books.

Their well-being is of great importance and we do all we can to help them flourish and become confident, responsible individuals.

Ben, BM alum
100% of our graduating class continue into Higher Education all over the world, with a small minority choosing to take a gap year. We are committed to providing maximum assistance to enable students to enter the university of their choice, wherever that may be.
Preparation for university and college entry begins in the penultimate year, when students are encouraged to think about where they would like to go and which course of study they would like to pursue. Our librarian is on-hand to assist students who wish to access university multimedia materials. Each year various university fairs and Open Days within the region provide further information and universities from all over the world regularly visit Brillantmont to give presentations to groups of potential students. Wherever a student’s choices lie, the school helps them and their families to organise visits either on official Open Days or on an individual basis
At all stages of the university planning process, students receive completely personalised support from our Deputy Director, assisted by our Student Well-Being and Pastoral Care Co-Ordinator. Both provide guidance and help students identify their strengths and interests, exploring all possible options. Students are closely supported in the preparation of their Personal Statements for university applications and also practice the communication skills, interview techniques and role play situations they will need later at the academic interview stage.
