About Us Bradwell Junior School is a small junior school in the heart of the Peak District National Park. We are part of Chorus Education Trust, which consists of both primary and secondary schools across Derbyshire and South Yorkshire. We work closely together as a collective with the education and well-being of all our children remaining the main thing .
We have very close working relationships with Bradwell Infant School, from where most of our children join us, and with Hope Valley College, to where the majority of our children move for their secondary education. Bradwell Junior School consists of two mixed-age classes: Class 1 is for children in Years 3 and 4; and Class 2 for children in Years 5 and 6.
Children regularly mix within the school day for assemblies, playtimes, lunch, food technology, gardening and forest school sessions. We enjoy working together and learning from each other. I would like to offer you all a warm Welcome to Bradwell Junior School.
