Our Year 11 Geography students recently travelled to Slapton Ley in Devon for a residential fieldwork experience to prepare for their iGCSE Geography fieldwork examination in May 2027.
Students investigated urban change in Plymouth through land use and environmental surveys, spoke with local residents, and used surveys to present their findings digitally. They then explored the Start Bay coastline, investigating coastal management, erosion and longshore drift on their walk from Start Point to the ‘lost village’ of Hallsands.
A fantastic opportunity to bring classroom learning to life through hands-on fieldwork. Well done to our Year 11s!

Garden Cottage is at the heart of our school – a warm and inclusive space where students can build on their learning, develop their academic skills and grow in confidence.
With seven small classrooms dedicated to focused sessions, students benefit from a quieter learning environment and personalised support. Our Specialist Learning Sessions are delivered by SpLD-qualified teachers and tailored to each student’s individual needs. Sessions help to address gaps in learning, build confidence in areas of difficulty and support students in making meaningful academic progress.
Dyslexia Awareness Week is always a special time at Bredon, with lots of exciting activities planned for our students, staff and the local community.
Watch this space to see what we have planned for next week!
Bredon School is fundraising for two charities close to our hearts:
Paul`s Journey - Brain Cancer.
Paul Richards, known to most as Naughts, was a healthy, active husband, dad, business owner, and lifelong animal lover. Just four months ago, his life changed dramatically when he was diagnosed with glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer.
Paul has undergone major brain surgery and has now completed radiotherapy and chemotherapy through the NHS. The family is now exploring every credible treatment opportunity, clinical trial, and specialist option available to give Paul the best possible chance.
Breast Cancer Now - Wear it Pink
Mrs Deary, Head of Jarrett House and a member of Bredon’s Pastoral Team, Wear it Pink is a cause very close to her heart.
Mrs Deary was diagnosed nearly three years ago with Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Without the money raised for vital research, she would not be here today. It has enabled her to make precious memories with her beautiful family and share priceless time with her granddaughters.
We had a fantastic time at our first Pink Run last year, and it was incredibly humbling to see our students putting their heart and soul into the event. We raised an amazing amount, but this year we would love to smash that total and raise even more for this vital cause.
We have set up this fundraiser to support both charities, with all money raised being shared equally between them.
Any contribution from our Bredon community, no matter the amount, would be greatly appreciated and will help make a difference.

Dyslexia Awareness Week is quickly approaching, a key date in our school calendar and an important opportunity to celebrate what makes dyslexic thinking so valuable.
The week is a fantastic opportunity for the whole Bredon community to come together and celebrate the strengths, talents and achievements of dyslexic learners.
We have several engaging activities planned for our students and the wider community. We can’t wait to bring the school together, celebrate different ways of thinking and shine a light on the many strengths that dyslexia can bring.

Our working school farm lies at the heart of life at Bredon School, allowing students of all ages to get involved in daily farm life and learn through hands-on experience.🚜🐑
From Year 4, our Junior School students enjoy weekly farm lessons, gaining early experience working with livestock, taking on farm responsibilities and learning about agriculture.
As students progress through the school, the farm continues to offer valuable outdoor learning experiences, real work challenges and opportunities to develop practical skills.
Our farm will be open and active at our upcoming Open Day on 10 October. Come and see how learning through real agricultural experiences forms part of life at Bredon.🌟

🐑 A few new faces on the farm!
Our new flock of North Country Mules arrived at school last week, along with a Texel tup and a Suffolk tup.
The flock will give our students the chance to learn more about commercial sheep farming, from strong maternal traits to selecting rams for finishing and future breeding.
A special mention has to go to Rhys in Year 11, who helped select our new rams. One of them was even his own home-bred ram, which he reared himself! Rhys is currently studying our Level 2 Agriculture course, so it was brilliant to see him putting his knowledge and experience into practice.
We’re looking forward to seeing how the flock develops and getting our students involved
