Connecting with Classroom Learning: Launching New Class and Specialist Landing Pages

We are excited to share that starting Tuesday, 27th October, Bradbury School will launch new Class/specialist Landing Pages for each year group, specialist area, and Chinese teaching team. These pages are designed to serve as a central, up-to-date hub to keep you connected with your child's learning and daily school routines.

Here is an overview of what you will find on the new pages:

• Direct Access to Learning Links: Centralised links to support classroom learning (such as Epic, Mathletics, and reading lists) can now be updated directly by teachers.
  
  

• Timetables: Clear weekly timetables outlining class routines, including swimming schedules (Years 4–6), library days, PE, Performing Arts (PA), and assemblies.
  
  

• Trips & School Experiences: Access details about class visits, camps, parent volunteering opportunities (eg, reading support), open mornings, and relevant medical or permission forms. (Note: Class photos will continue to be shared via your child's portfolio).
  
  

• Units of Inquiry (UOI) Overviews: A clear outline of your child's curriculum units for the year, including themes, central ideas, and lines of inquiry.
  
  

• Parent Learning Resources: Helpful prompt sheets, guidebooks, and slides to support learning at home (such as Home Reading tips).
  
  

• Curriculum Newsletters: Easy access to Year Group and Specialist newsletters published throughout the year.
  
  

• Inclement Weather Learning: Quick links to class-specific folders for home learning materials during bad weather events. This will limit the need for multiple communications.
  
  

• Meet the Team: Photos and names of the teachers, Educational Assistants, and support staff working directly with your children.
  
  

All links and materials on the landing pages will be regularly managed and updated by our teaching teams to ensure you always have access to current information. 

Netball Match Report: Year 6 Tournament Success!

On Wednesday, 14th October, Year 6 netballers travelled to the Wong Chuk Hang netball courts for an action-packed afternoon of competition, taking to the court with one boys team and one girls team.

The boys team put on a dominant display across their 4 games against ESF Glenealy and Quarry Bay School. They went undefeated, wrapping up the afternoon with 3 wins and 1 draw.

Our girls team faced a demanding schedule, playing 7 matches against Quarry Bay, French International School, Glenealy, and Kellett. Demonstrating incredible stamina, team spirit, and execution on the court, the girls secured an outstanding 6 wins and just 1 loss.

It was a fantastic afternoon of netball overall, and every single student made Bradbury proud by putting their hard work from training into action.

A huge thank you goes to Mrs Leonard for being match-day coach for the boys team, as well as to all the parents who came along to cheer and show their support from the sidelines.

We are already looking forward to our next fixture on Wednesday, 28th October, where Bradbury will be expanding its squad to bring two girls teams and two boys teams.
