Senior School Curriculum

A Curriculum Built Around Every Student

At Bredon, education isn’t one-size-fits-all. We offer three educational pathways – Academic, Creative and Vocational – so students can follow a route that suits their strengths and aspirations.

Whether your child is aiming for university, an apprenticeship or a hands-on career, they’ll find a programme that works for them.

A Future with Purpose

Whether heading into Bredon Sixth Form, starting an apprenticeship, applying to university or entering the world of work, our students take their next steps with confidence, independence and self-belief.

At Bredon, we don’t just prepare students for exams – we prepare them for life.
