Bradford

This is our 11th year of running Bradford! I am Head of Wellbeing across the school, teach Equipped to Flourish (ETF) and also coach hockey, netball and cricket. Mrs Martin teaches Geography as well as coaching sport.

Bradford House is a ‘home from home’. It is important that everybody that comes into contact with the House knows this. Feeling
looked after, cared for and known is so important to the Houseparents, Tutors, Matrons and Pastoral Assistant.

We want the same outlook for the boys - looking out for each other, knowing each other and supporting one another at all times.

The informal school motto being, ‘Work Hard, Play Hard, Serve Well’, we do try and follow these in Bradford House. There are various different ways this can be achieved, but it is a good starting point for the outlook of the House. Perhaps an important aspect of living together is supporting each other and ‘serving’ each other in many different contexts.

We also have a personal best culture within the House. It goes without saying that we want the boys to try their best academically, but we also want everyone to get involved in House life, trying everything and getting the most out of the boarding experience.

Doing the best you can and giving your all is all we can ask.

Mr and Mrs Martin (and Arthur, Olive and Monty!)
