A school with deep roots and wide horizons.
For nearly four decades, Brightwell has taught the children of Uyo to read widely, think clearly and carry themselves with grace. From the creche to the final year of secondary, every child is known by name.
Example figures for this demo.
From first steps to final exams
Each stage has its own building, its own head and its own rhythm. They share one campus, one set of values and teachers who watch your child grow up.
Early years
Creche, Nursery and Reception in a garden setting, learning through play, stories and song.
02
Primary
Strong reading, number and curiosity, with French, music and swimming every week.
03
Secondary
National exams alongside British-style courses, with boarding from JSS1.
Example fees for this demo, per term unless stated. Three terms a year.

Is Brightwell a faith school?
No. We welcome families of every faith and none. Pupils learn about the faiths of Nigeria with respect, and there is a quiet room for prayer.
