Part of The Athelstan Trust, Bradon Forest School is a very well established and respected comprehensive secondary school with an exciting joint sixth-form model. Situated in the rural village of Purton, we draw from a wide catchment across Wiltshire and Swindon and we are very proud of our welcoming, respectful community. Our Post-16 provision provides an outstanding route to aspirational university courses and degree level apprenticeships.

 Bradon Forest is an inclusive community that prides itself on delivering an excellent education. We believe students and staff should feel valued and be challenged to fulfill potential by the development of their individual talents and skills. We celebrate spiritual and creative diversity and promote a love of life-long learning. 

Vision

Our vision is that the school consistently achieves positive progress for all our cohorts of students and that we constantly strive for improved performance. We want students to be respectful and proactive in their day-to-day interactions and to be ambitious and aspirational for the future.

A broad and thoughtfully sequenced curriculum is our starting point for students to engage with highly effective teaching and learning which is rooted in research and evidence.

One of our core beliefs is that a holistic education is an enabler to future life success. An extensive programme of trips, visits, sporting and creative opportunities provide our students with multiple ways to excel.
