Bradfield College At A Glance
Founded in 1850 and set in picturesque Berkshire countryside, with a clear vision to inspire young people to develop a lifelong love of learning within a vibrant and friendly school community; a community which is pastorally nurturing, intellectually exciting and culturally diverse. Bradfield is a school within which children are truly known and celebrated for the uniqueness of their personality and contribution. Our reputation is based upon a heartfelt sense of humility and a desire to be outward facing, welcoming and inclusive. For our pupils, Bradfield very quickly becomes a place they feel known and supported. A place where they belong and flourish.
Why Bradfield
Bradfield inspires a lifelong love of learning through an education that combines intellectual ambition with exceptional breadth. A knowledge-rich and evolving curriculum encourages pupils to think critically, communicate confidently and respond creatively to a complex and changing world. Beyond the classroom, every pupil is encouraged to explore their interests, embrace new challenges and develop a genuine sense of curiosity and wonder.
The value of a Bradfield education can be seen in strong academic outcomes and ambitious university destinations, but also in the principled, kind and confident young people who leave us. Grounded in enduring values and open to new ideas, Bradfield prepares pupils to navigate their futures with empathy, integrity and purpose.
“Bradfield is a place where every pupil is encouraged to find what they’re good at, discover what they love, and grow into the person they want to be.”
