What we think
A wonderful school for anyone in need of educational support.

The Details

Academics:

The school offers GCSEs, A-Levels, Btecs and vocational training.

Bredon School's academic credo is 'make the glove fit the hand': the school adapts support and academic offer to the individual needs and interests of the child. Some pupils will do A-Levels, some will do Btecs in catering, some will join the on-site Cisco Academy and learn to code.

The school provides specialist learning support for pupils with dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia and speech and language difficulties.

Boarding:

43% of pupils board. About 10% of pupils at the school are international. Boarding facilities are modern and cozy. An extensive, recent refurbishment makes accomodation feel up-to-date.

Single rooms for 6th Form boarders provided.

Exeat weekends exist but are not compulsory.

Strengths:

Bredon School's amazing academic learning support. Best in the UK! The amazingly small classes of six pupils a class on average help.

The school's amazing pastoral care. Pupils are enormously well cared for and get all the emotional support they could possibly need.

The school's well-rounded, active approach to learning - from coding, to maths and design to rearing farm-animals, pupils get an exceptionally wide variety of learning experiences to choose from.

Weaknesses:

None we can think of. Bredon School is not for everyone, of course, but does what it was set up to do like no other school we know.
