Relaxing in the Sixth Form Centre
Bredon School has put some extra bounce into its Spring Term Open Day by combining it with a 24-hour girls’ sponsored basketball event.

Visitors to the Open Day, between 10am and noon on Saturday 2 February 2008, can find out about both the wide choice of academic and vocational courses on offer at the independent school and about its commitment to each individual child’s development.

Doug Sharp, the school’s Admissions and Development Manager, said: “Many of the girls usually take part in a 24-hour sponsored basketball event at this time of year, so this year we thought it would be fun to have it running on the same day as Open Day. Half the money raised will go to Worcestershire Air Ambulance and the other half to the School’s Tennis Court fund.”

Pupils and staff will be on hand to show people around and to showcase aspects of school life. Visitors will be able to see the newly opened Smart Centre; the workshops and new IT suites; the working farm and the sports areas.

The Smart Centre houses the Art department and has classrooms for Mathematics, Sports & PE as well as a multi-purpose gallery and drama studio. It also houses a Sixth Form Centre in which the older pupils are able to prepare snacks for themselves, relax and watch TV.

By offering a combination of small class sizes and a wide curriculum – including many vocational courses for older boys and girls and an extensive range of sporting opportunities – the 7-18 School near Tewkesbury provides an education that is tailored to individual needs and abilities. Bredon School also has an international reputation for helping children with dyslexia and other Specific Learning Difficulties through its Access Centre.

The day and boarding school is set in 84 acres of landscaped grounds around the Pull Court mansion at Bushley, near Tewkesbury.
