The Bradfield Diploma

This unique programme challenges students to broaden horizons through ten key components: academic pursuits, research, cultural events, physical activity, public speaking, responsibility, community service, reading, current affairs, and outdoor activities. Participants earn up to 60 credits toward gold, silver, bronze, or pass awards accepted by the WJEC examination board. Beyond certificates, the programme cultivates essential qualities—leadership, teamwork, confidence, resourcefulness—that prepare young people for future success in whatever path they choose.
