“As a House team, we encourage every girl to make the most of the opportunities presented to her at Bradfield. We believe that a positive attitude combined with hard work and perseverance can help pupils to achieve, and even exceed, the targets they set themselves, whether it be in the classroom, on stage or on a sports pitch. We strive to help our girls develop into happy, sensible and self-confident young women who can make a difference, not only in their own lives and current community, but also in the world outside Bradfield.”
