"With faith, we care, share and learn together" As a Church of England School, we are dedicated to mainitaining a Christian ethos in a caring, family atmosphere. We aim to develop children's academic potential and personal qualities through child-centred learning opportunities, supporting them to be well-rounded individuals.
We nurture skills, knowledge and understanding within a Christian ethos, where our values of kindness, respect and independence are prioritised. We equip children with the tools they need to develop physical and mental wellbeing.
We strive to provide opportunities for the children to explore places, cultures and experiences that they would otherwise not have access to through trips, events and planned activities which build and develop their cultural capital. The children of Bradwell CE Infant School are encouraged to become thoughtful, caring members of the community.
We are the only Infant School in the Hope Valley and we pride ourselves on the way that we approach teaching and learning at Bradwell Infants.
