Bredon School, Tewkesbury

In its own words: "At Bredon School, we've been redefining what education can look like since 1962. As a leading dyslexia-specialist school, we understand that every child learns differently and we shape our teaching around that belief. Our approach is rooted in specialist, evidence-informed methods that reflect how dyslexic learners process information."

From the headteacher's welcome: "I believe every young person can learn, achieve and find their place in the world. What I do not believe is that every young person learns in the same way. Our students are bright, curious and capable, but they have not always had the opportunity to show what they can do. At Bredon, we do things differently."

Clubs and activities named on the school's website include cooking, gardening, Duke of Edinburgh and cadets.

Coming up: an admissions event on Monday 2 November 2026. Check the school's website before you go, as dates can change.

The Department for Education's GCSE measures do not count IGCSEs, which many independent schools take instead of GCSEs, so the Attainment 8 and English and maths figures it publishes for Bredon School can understate its results. We do not rank or compare them; ask the school for its own GCSE and IGCSE results.
