Bradbury School

Bradbury School is situated on Hong Kong Island, within a peaceful residential area surrounded by green spaces and well-connected by public transport. The campus is a short drive from the city’s main districts, providing easy access for families commuting from different parts of Hong Kong. The neighbourhood offers a calm environment close to urban conveniences.

The school provides education for Years 1–6, following the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP). It caters to children aged approximately 5 to 11 years old, preparing them for transition to ESF secondary schools offering the IB Middle Years Programme.

Bradbury is a co-educational, non-boarding day school. It forms part of the English Schools Foundation (ESF) network, Hong Kong’s largest provider of international education. There are no boarding facilities; students attend daily from home.

The school’s Learning Diversity Team provides tailored assistance for students with additional needs, including dyslexia, autism spectrum conditions, dyspraxia, and global developmental delay. Support includes classroom adjustments, targeted interventions, and individualised plans managed in collaboration with teachers and families.

Bradbury School is part of the English Schools Foundation (ESF), a Hong Kong-based organisation. It does not have a formal affiliation with any specific foreign country.

The school has no religious affiliation and operates as a secular institution within the ESF network.

The daily timetable details are not publicly listed.

Bradbury offers a comprehensive bus service operated by Kwoon Chung Bus Holdings Limited. Multiple routes cover key areas of Hong Kong Island. Parents can register for service directly through the bus company’s online system, and customer support is available for route or payment inquiries.

Application Fees
A non-refundable HK$ 2,800 application fee is required for each new applicant.

Enrollment Deposit
When accepting a school place at an ESF primary or secondary school, a two-month deposit (based on the grade’s tuition) must be paid. One half of this deposit offsets the first month’s tuition; the other half is applied to the final month’s tuition if at least two calendar months’ written withdrawal notice is given and no outstanding balance exists.

Tuition Fees (Per Year)
For Years 1–6 (Primary / PYP) in 2025/26, the annual tuition is HK$ 139,000.
School fees are billed in 10 monthly instalments of HK$ 13,900 via autopay (direct debit).

Additional Fees
A one-time Non-Refundable Capital Levy (NCL) is charged when a student first enters ESF. For Year 1, this is HK$ 38,000, and it reduces on a sliding scale for entry in later years (e.g. Year 2: HK$36,000; Year 6: HK$28,000).
Extra costs for uniforms, meals, textbooks, co-curricular activities, trips, and transport are not included in tuition and are billed separately.

Transportation Fees
The daily school bus service is provided by an external bus company; route-based fees apply and are invoiced directly. The amount depends on the route and distance.

Refund Policy
The application fee is non-refundable.
The deposit’s first half is used toward first-month tuition; the second half is refunded or offsetting the last month, provided two months’ notice is given and there are no outstanding balances.
The Non-Refundable Capital Levy (NCL) is not refundable or transferable under any circumstances.

Payment Options
Tuition and deposit payments are made via mandated direct debit (autopay / bank transfer); other payment methods (e.g. credit card, cheque) are not generally accepted for school fees.
