Our Place
Bradford School is nestled on large, peaceful,
semi-rural grounds in a quiet cul de sac.
We may be in a busy city landscape, but our
children can experience a slice of the
countryside with our chooks, vegetable gardens
and space to play in; learning becomes an all
encompassing experience.
We are very proud of our learning community and special environment. The school values of Respect, Empathy, Awhina (supporting others), Integrity and Kia Runga Rawa (aiming high) are integral in all that we do. Read more about our values...
