Welcome to Bradon Forest School, a place where every student is valued as an individual and benefits from a high-quality, inclusive education within a caring and supportive community. At the heart of our school are our CARE values, Challenge, Aspiration, Respect, Resilience and Excellence which guide everything we do and encourage our students to achieve their very best. These values are reflected in the strong culture of mutual respect that characterises daily life at Bradon Forest.
Nestled in the Wiltshire countryside in the village of Purton, our school combines high ambitions with a nurturing approach. We are proud to be a truly comprehensive school, embracing students from all backgrounds and of all abilities. As an inclusive and respectful community, we are committed to ensuring every young person is supported, challenged and encouraged to achieve the highest standards.
Academic success is central to our mission and is driven by a broad, ambitious curriculum delivered by dedicated and highly skilled teaching staff. Equally important is our commitment to developing confident, happy and well-rounded young people who are prepared for life beyond the classroom. Our extensive extra-curricular programme plays a vital role in this, offering opportunities that range from international visits to Nepal and New York to successful sports teams and a wide variety of clubs and activities. We believe every student should have the opportunity to discover, develop and excel in the things that inspire them.
For more than 50 years, Bradon Forest School has provided outstanding support, guidance and education to generations of young people. Our experienced and dedicated staff work tirelessly to ensure that every student is supported in their learning, personal development and overall wellbeing. Pastoral care is one of our greatest strengths, helping students build confidence, resilience and independence within an environment where respect and inclusion are fundamental.
It is a privilege to serve as Headteacher of Bradon Forest School and to lead the school into the next stage of its journey. Working alongside our students, staff, families and wider community, I am committed to ensuring that every child, regardless of their starting point, feels a true sense of belonging, is inspired by excellent teaching and is encouraged to achieve success each day. Our aim is that every student leaves Bradon Forest with a strong sense of self-worth, respect for others, a pride in their achievements and the confidence to embrace future opportunities.
