Mr Rory Vokes-Dudgeon

From September 2026, Bredon School is delighted to welcome Rory as our new Headmaster. Bringing significant experience across both mainstream and specialist education, he is passionate about personalised learning and creating opportunities for every young person to reach their full potential.

A Mathematics teacher by training, Rory has spent the majority of his career working in Special Educational Needs education. Following his PGCE at UCL Institute of Education, he began his teaching career at a secondary special needs school in North West London. He later joined Abingdon House School in London, where he completed his NPQH in 2022 before becoming Headteacher in 2023.

Rory has particular expertise in SEND mathematics, dyscalculia and maths anxiety, and regularly contributes to teacher training. This includes delivering annual lectures as part of the King’s College London PGCE programme.

His leadership is rooted in a child-centred approach and a strong belief in personalised learning. Rory is passionate about creating educational environments where young people can build confidence, overcome barriers and unlock their potential, particularly those who may not have thrived within a mainstream setting.

Having grown up in rural North Yorkshire and attended boarding school himself, Rory feels a strong connection with Bredon’s distinctive approach to education. He is particularly drawn to the school’s emphasis on academic opportunity, outdoor education, pastoral care and developing confident, well-rounded young people.

We look forward to welcoming Rory to the Bredon community and to the experience, enthusiasm and expertise he will bring to the school as we continue to support our students to thrive.
