Bradon Forest School is set in the rural village of Purton, surrounded by stunning Wiltshire countryside. This gives us the perfect backdrop to focus on providing an excellent all-round education as well as nurturing students' individual talents and strengths.

We have been educating young people for over 50 years and are committed to developing highly successful, fully rounded individuals ready to take their place in the world. 

We continue to update and develop our site following the construction of our new state of the art sports hall in 2016, adding a new food and textiles block in the spring of 2018. Our mix of modern and traditional learning environments gives our school a unique, individual feel that is welcomed by students and parents alike.

At Bradon Forest School, we provide a friendly, caring, creative and purposeful environment in which your son or daughter can feel supported. They will be encouraged to take every opportunity given to them both academically and in extra-curricular activities. We strive to develop confident young adults who show both respect and resilience and who have high aspirations for their futures.

At Bradon Forest School we CARE about our students and seek to support them in any way we can to achieve their potential as successful young adults.  Our students are encouraged to achieve beyond their expectations combining academic success with a range of additional opportunities that help them develop as people as well as learners.

Our success is based upon four core messages:

• We challenge ourselves to be great learners.
• We have aspiration for our futures.
• We will respect ourselves and others and will show resilience when we falter.
• We strive for excellence in all that we do both inside the classroom and out.

Through working together to meet these aims our students, staff, parents and carers forge excellent relationships that are often praised by visitors to our school. Our community fosters a learning culture in which our students aspire to be mature young adults looking forward to further education and employment.

The Department for Education have recently reinforced the need “to create and enforce a clear and rigorous expectation on all schools to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.”

At Bradon Forest these values are both integral to our school values and ethos and reinforced on a daily basis as can be seen on this page.
