Our History
We provide opportunities to succeed
Bradford Schools traces its beginnings to 2013 when it opened its doors as a pre-primary school catering for children between 12 months and 6 years. As the school’s enrolment grew, there were overwhelming requests for the school to open a preparatory school to cater for foundation phase learners. Five years later, the school opened its Preparatory School in Glen Austin, Midrand. Due to the school’s reputation for high quality instruction and performance, we have experienced significant enrolment growth over the last two years and the school’s growth path is on a high growth trajectory.
Bradford Schools was founded on the principle that the period of a learner’s development is a unique stage in any child’s life, and hence the attainment of high-quality education is crucial to ensure a good foundation for future development, health and wellbeing of a child.
