Bradbury School was founded in 1975, originally operating as Causeway Bay School on Eastern Hospital Road. In 1980, the school relocated to its current site on Stubbs Road and was renamed Bradbury Junior School after the Bradbury Charitable Trust, which supported its development. It became part of the English Schools Foundation (ESF) network, continuing to serve Hong Kong’s international community. Over time, the school evolved into an IB World School, maintaining its focus on primary education for expatriate and local families.
The Bradbury community comprises students, staff, and families who participate in a variety of cultural, social, and environmental events throughout the year. Regular celebrations include international days, student exhibitions, and performances that reflect the diverse backgrounds of the school population. Families are actively involved in workshops, assemblies, and fundraising events that support learning and wellbeing initiatives.
The Bradbury PTA collaborates closely with school leadership and staff to foster a strong partnership between home and school. The PTA holds monthly meetings to plan and review community activities and fundraising initiatives. Funds raised are used to enhance learning environments, such as playground upgrades or classroom resources. Annual PTA-led events include school fairs, community barbecues, and social gatherings that bring families together. The committee is made up of parents, teachers, and the Principal, ensuring balanced representation and open communication. The PTA also manages small grants to support student-led projects and community partnerships.
