WELCOME TO BRADON FOREST SCHOOL Bradon Forest

in Pictures
Bradon Forest is a successful school with a first-rate reputation that has served its
community area of North Wiltshire, North and West Swindon for nearly 5 0 years. We are
situated in Purton, surrounded by beautiful open countryside. In addition to our excellent
examination results we are a very busy school offering a myriad of opportunities, both
academic and extra-curricular. A visit to our website will provide you with easy access to
information, photographs, videos and more via the eight easy to use buttons on our
website homepage. See more of what we get up to at www.bradonforest.wilts.sch.uk.

`On The Buses' - Launch of the new Bradon Forest Bus Service
For over 4 0 years, buses have been provided across the community area that Bradon
Forest serves. When Swindon Borough Council (SBC) was created as a separate authority
it meant that our traditional community area encompassed two local authorities. The
majority of our students (virtually 70%) have always come from Swindon.
As you are probably aware from the comprehensive coverage in `The Link'
Students during a writing
magazine, SBC took the decision in 2008 to remove the free bus entitlement for all new
workshop with author Sarah
entrants starting on or after September 2009. (NB. i. The bus service for students already on Singleton
roll will continue for them until they leave. ii. This does not affect the free service for Wiltshire
based students.) SBC stressed that their decision was not about admissions but based on
cost. We are pleased that more Swindon based families chose Bradon Forest for the
September intake in 2009 than the previous year. As it is SBC policy not to `sell seats' on
any of its school contracts we promised parents that we would organise our own bus
service at as low a cost as possible.
After several months of detailed planning, working with Thamesdown Transport Peter Newton and Chris Jones
give a presentation on their
and the Wiltshire transport team, we are delighted to announce that in September we will gymnastics trip to China
be running a Bradon Forest bus service for students in West and North Swindon at a
weekly cost of £12.50 per seat. (See Routes 1- 3)
