Welcoming Our New Headmaster, Mr Rory Vokes-Dudgeon
From September 2026, Bredon School is delighted to welcome Rory as our new Headmaster. Bringing significant experience across both mainstream and specialist education, he is passionate about personalised learning and creating opportunities for every young person to reach their full potential.
A Mathematics teacher by training, he has spent the majority of his career working in Special Educational Needs education. Following his PGCE at UCL Institute of Education, he began teaching at a secondary special needs school in North West London. He later joined Abingdon House School in London, completing his NPQH in 2022 before becoming Headteacher in 2023.
With particular expertise in SEND mathematics, dyscalculia and maths anxiety, he regularly contributes to teacher training, including annual lectures for the King’s College London PGCE programme.
His leadership is rooted in a child-centred approach and a strong belief in personalised learning. He is passionate about creating educational environments where young people can build confidence, overcome barriers and unlock their potential, particularly those who may not have thrived within mainstream education.
Having grown up in rural North Yorkshire and attended boarding school himself, he feels a strong connection with Bredon’s distinctive approach to education. He is particularly drawn to the school’s emphasis on academic opportunity, outdoor education, pastoral care and developing confident, well-rounded young people.
We look forward to welcoming him to the Bredon community and to the enthusiasm and expertise he will bring as we continue to support our students to thrive.
