Our Place
Emma Knopp, Principal
Bradford School is nestled on large, peaceful, semi-rural grounds in a quiet cul de sac. We may be in a busy city landscape, but our children can experience a slice of the countryside with our amazing grounds and space to play in, including vege gardens, orchard, an awesome bike and scooter track, extensive holistic programmes that build a sense of belonging; learning becomes an all encompassing experience.
We are very proud of our learning community and special environment. The school values of We Care, We Grow, He Waka Eke Noa (We’re all in this together) are integral in all that we do. Read more about our values…
