Bryanston was founded in 1928 by a young schoolmaster from Australia named J. G. Jeffreys. He gained financial support for the school during a period of severe economic instability with financial backing from Anthony Ashley Cooper, 9th Earl of Shaftesbury; he paid £35,000 for the Bryanston House and its of immediate grounds. The school occupies a country house designed and built in 1889–1894 by Richard Norman Shaw and modelled on the chateau at Menars in the Loire valley. Shaw designed the house for Viscount Portman to replace an earlier one. The building and estate was the biggest in Dorset and the last of the grand stately homes to be built in England. The home had been occupied by the Portman family for 30 years at the time of its sale, but death duties made it impossible for the 4th Lord Portman to hold on to his family estate. There were seven teachers and 23 boys of various ages in the first term. Jeffreys innovated whilst respecting traditions, reflected in his choice of school motto, Et Nova Et Vetera. His was the first English school to adopt the Dalton Plan, its combination of the new and the old being of particular appeal. The system was flexible enough to offer a combination of lessons in the classroom and time for assignment work in subject rooms, which gave the students freedom to decide which pieces of academic work to focus their attention. Students are required to keep a daily record on a chart showing their use of working and leisure time, meeting with their tutors on a weekly basis to ensure effective monitoring of their progress.

The school opened on 24 January 1928 with 23 pupils and seven members of staff. It grew as a boys' school to some 450 pupils before admitting girls in 1972 initially into the 6th form only. By 2004, the school had around 650 pupils and 80 teachers. During the mid 1930s, Bryanston School was the location of Anglo German youth camps where the Hitler Youth and Boy Scouts tried to develop links. The Don Potter Art School opened in 1997. Bryanston is a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference and the Eton Group. It has a reputation as a liberal and artistic school. The principles of the Dalton Planare still in place today. In 2005, the school was one of fifty of the country's leading independent schools which were found guilty of running an illegal price fixing cartel. In 2014, the school opened a new music building, the Tom Wheare Music School, designed by Hopkins Architects and named after a headteacher of Bryanston. The 300 seat concert hall was named after conductor Sir Mark Elder, who is a former pupil. The interior of the building won a 2015 Wood Award.

Alumni of the school are known as Old Bryanstonians; there is an alumni organisation called the Bryanston Society. "The Society exists to further the cause of Bryanston in the broadest possible sense. It aims to bring together the whole Bryanston family through social and sporting events."

The school estate has Europe's tallest London Plane tree (160 ft). Each year, the JACT Ancient Greek Summer School is held at Bryanston. ref name=JACT Morwood></ref>
