About us:

Bradfield College, also known as St Andrew's College, Bradfield, is a renowned public school (English fee-charging boarding and day school) for pupils aged 13–18. Located in the small village of Bradfield in the Berkshire countryside, the school is within an hour of London, offering a serene yet accessible educational environment​​​​.

The school, founded in 1850 by Thomas Stevens, rector and Lord of the Manor of Bradfield, has a longstanding history and enjoys a well-established reputation as one of the country's leading co-educational, independent schools. It is known for its provision of academic excellence and a well-rounded education. The campus, set amidst unspoilt Berkshire countryside, provides a picturesque backdrop for the students' educational journey​​​​.

Bradfield College has a vibrant student body of approximately 810 to 820 pupils, comprising 320 girls and 490 boys, from the UK and overseas. Boys and girls typically enter Bradfield at 13+ (Year 9), and many more join the College’s popular Sixth Form, where they have the option to study either the International Baccalaureate (IB) or A Levels. This diverse and inclusive environment is further enriched by the twelve boarding houses at the school, including Faulkner's, a purpose-built co-educational house for the first year at 13+ entry​​​​.

The College is popular among boarding students and offers a choice of college pathways alongside an extensive co-curricular programme. This programme includes a bespoke boarding experience for Year 9 students, designed to ease their transition into the school community and foster personal growth. The school's co-curricular offerings are supported by impressive facilities such as extensive outdoor pitches, an all-weather astro-turf, indoor swimming pool, tennis courts, indoor tennis dome, golf course, sports hall, dance studio, and a stunning open-air Greek-style amphitheatre at the heart of the campus​​​​.

Bradfield College is committed to providing the highest possible care and education for all its pupils, dedicating itself to nurturing their academic, social, and personal development within a supportive and challenging environment​​.
