Administration Assistant

A very warm welcome to The Bishop David Brown School, where we work together to enable all to excel.

We are an ambitious school; committed to the success of every student and dedicated to the ongoing development of our staff. Their passion, expertise, and unwavering dedication form the foundation on which our students thrive – both during their time at BDB and as they step confidently into futures filled with choice and opportunity. Every day, all our staff firmly commit to being the best we can be – because BDB students deserve the very best education within and beyond the classroom.

Our ambitious plans build on strong foundations of excellent learning opportunities, collaborating with others on exciting developments to foster an environment where everyone in our community can truly excel.

Our philosophy is centered on the knowledge that for students to flourish, they must feel safe, happy, known and valued as individuals. The unique qualities that every individual brings to our community are celebrated, generating a deep-rooted sense of belonging at BDB. I hope you take an opportunity to visit us, where you will notice the palpable ‘family’ culture which is central to our success and will continue to pervade.

You will find that our learning environment is truly impressive, with outstanding specialist facilities across all curriculum areas. Our curriculum resources and teaching practices are always evolving as we consider the latest research and evidence about how to support students in the most impactful way.

With inclusive practice at the heart of our teaching, we ensure that all our young people are ambitious and active learners, with independent study skills and curious minds so that they are prepared for the diverse challenges of the future.

Beyond the classroom, we have engaging enrichment activities that enhance every child’s breadth of interest, continuing to support their personal development, identities and passions.

Above all, my ambition is for BDB to be a happy school where staff and students alike eagerly anticipate each day, confident in the consistent support, appropriate challenges, and enriching experiences that empower everyone to develop and excel.

Whether you are a current or prospective family or staff member of BDB, I look forward to the opportunity to discuss further with you how our fantastic learning community enables all to excel.
