Junior

A Nurturing Start for Ages 8 onwards

At Bredon Junior School, we provide a caring and inclusive environment where young students are supported to grow in confidence, independence and curiosity.

With small class sizes and dyslexia-friendly teaching, every child receives the time, space and encouragement they need to thrive.

This is where a lifelong love of learning begins.

A Strong Academic Foundation with Flexibility

English and Maths are taught daily and Science is delivered twice a week, in small class sizes tailored to individual needs. We integrate specialist dyslexia teaching techniques and assistive technologies (such as Nessy, Read & Write, Accelerated Reader and Typing Club) to help every student thrive.

We schedule academic lessons in the mornings, when focus is strongest, leaving the afternoons for more hands-on, creative and outdoor learning experiences.

JUNIOR CURRICULUM

A Seamless Transition to Senior School

We ensure a smooth, well-supported transition to Senior School, led by our specialist Junior School staff, who work closely with students and families at every step.

This transition is not a single moment, but a process that unfolds throughout the year, with consistent links to the Senior School helping students grow in confidence and familiarity over time.

Nearly 100% of students move confidently into Bredon’s Senior School, fully prepared for the next stage in their education.

SENIOR SCHOOL

Safe, Supportive & Inspiring

Happiness and well-being are at the heart of everything we do. Our strong pastoral care ensures that students feel secure, supported and truly seen.

Staff are always on hand with encouragement, guidance and reassurance, helping every child to feel at home. We never overlook the challenges a child may face; instead, we work through them together, breaking learning into manageable steps, practising, revisiting and building confidence over time.

Nestled within the safe and scenic grounds of Bredon School, the Junior School is a place to flourish, explore and lay the foundations for lifelong learning.

At Bredon, we don’t just teach the dyslexic mind, we truly understand it.

PASTORAL

Pastoral Support & Wellbeing

We believe children do their best when they feel safe, known and understood. Small class sizes allow teachers to build strong relationships with each student, ensuring genuine individual care and attention.

Our tutor and house systems provide a clear structure of support, while regular team meetings ensure that any child needing additional care is quickly recognised and supported.
