THRIVE THRIVE

At Bredon School, we understand that every student learns differently. Our smart teaching approach is designed to help students with dyslexia and other learning differences thrive. By using multisensory techniques and assistive technology like speech-to-text, we ensure that learning is clear and accessible. With a flexible curriculum that includes GCSEs, A-levels, and vocational qualifications, our teachers are trained to meet individual learning needs, focusing on building confidence, independence, and long-term success.

Creativity is at the heart of everything we do at Bredon. Our students engage in hands-on learning through activities like working on our farm, outdoor education, and projects that go beyond textbooks. Whether it’s forest school, archery, or cycling, we encourage new ideas and problem-solving. With a flexible, creative curriculum tailored to each student’s strengths, learning at Bredon is active, inspiring, and designed to help students excel both inside and outside the classroom.

Creative Learning

At Bredon School, we offer three tailored Pathways to suit each student’s strengths and aspirations. The Academic Pathway builds a strong foundation in traditional subjects, the Creative Pathway nurtures imagination and innovation while the Vocational Pathway focuses on hands-on learning and career-ready skills. Each route supports success – whether in further education, apprenticeships or the world of work.

Our Clay Pigeon Shooting team travelled to Barbury Shooting Ground on Tuesday to compete in the Marlborough Sporting Clay Shield, taking on six different stands and finishing an impressive 6th out of 30 teams! 👏

A fantastic achievement and a great opportunity to represent Bredon alongside other schools.

Well done to all our shooters!

As part of Dyslexia Awareness Week, we welcomed teachers from local schools to Bredon for a free, full-day workshop to share how we support students with dyslexia and other SpLDs.

Our SLS team led sessions on Oracy and Dyslexia, Assistive Technology, Dyscalculia and Mental Health, with a Q&A session alongside our Speech and Language Therapists and Occupational Therapist.

It was brilliant to welcome more schools than ever before and share ideas and practical ways to support students. A big thank you to our SLS team for organising such a successful day!
