Founded in 1850 by Thomas Stevens, and set in the village of Bradfield amidst unspoilt Berkshire countryside, Bradfield College enjoys a well-established reputation for being one of the country’s leading co-educational, independent schools through its provision of an outstanding education.
The College welcomes pupils from the UK and overseas with the pupil body numbering approximately 810, comprising 320 girls and 490 boys from 13 to 18 years of age.
Boys and girls enter Bradfield at 13+ (Year 9) and many more join the College’s popular and vibrant Sixth Form, where they can choose to study either the IB or A Levels. Faulkner’s, a state-of-the-art boarding house, is specially designed to help all girls and boys make a happy and successful transition from prep school (we recruit from more than 70) to senior school; pupils then move into one of 11 senior houses.
We offer an unrivalled co-curricular programme for all our pupils which ensures that every girl and boy has the opportunity to develop valuable skills outside the classroom, wherever their interests lie.
Bradfield College’s purpose is to provide an outstanding education for life, equipping the young people in its care to flourish personally and professionally after they leave school.
To achieve this, the College aims for its pupils to enjoy school and fulfil their potential within and beyond the classroom, developing the following attributes:
CONFIDENCE
The confidence that inspires us to identify and develop our interests and talents.
OPEN-MINDEDNESS
The inclusive open-mindedness that values diversity and encourages service to others.
RESILIENCE
The resilience that comes from challenging and taking responsibility for ourselves.
INQUIRY
The sense of inquiry that underpins academic achievement and lifelong learning.
COMMUNICATION
The powers of communication that enable us to play an active part in society.
INNOVATION
The potential for innovation in a changing world through creativity and entrepreneurship.
We expect all members of the College community to work together and to display integrity, empathy and enthusiasm.
All of our decisions are made by asking ourselves: ‘what is in the best interest of our pupils?’
