Friends of Bradley School
If you have a child who attends this school, you are automatically a member of Friends of Bradley School Parent Forum
The aims of the group are to initiate and lend support for school activities, provide for school facilities and resources over and above those provided by the school budget and to arrange social and community events for those associated with the school. The success of Friends of Bradley School is due to the dedication and hard work of its energetic committee.
Friends of Bradley School Committee
- Chairs of Friends - Kate Kirby & Sarah Brown

Friends funded the purchase of these amazing books for our school library.
Every parent automatically becomes a member of our Friends of Bradleys Both PTA when their child joins school.
Friends led the largest team entry in the Skipton Santa Run in both 2024 and 2025. Well done Team Bradley!
Whole School Theatre Visit to see Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Thank you to everyone who fundraised with the Friends last year to fully fund our whole school theatre visit. It was a wonderful experience having our school community altogether to visit the Alhambra Theatre in Bradford to see 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'. A magical and very special experience for everyone! (December 2025)

Woodland Area development work
The Friends have worked really hard during 2022 and 2023 to re-develop and improve the children's Woodland Area. Parents and children have helped clear the area during Ground Force weekends. A Sensory Garden area was opened in October 2023 following huge support from our whole school team of children, parents and staff. A ribbon cutting ceremony was held after school on the 12th October 2023.
