Bradshaw Elementary is a former bilingual public elementary school in Langley, British Columbia part of School District 35 Langley.

Named after Mr. H. Bradshaw, a respected magistrate of the 1930's, Bradshaw Elementary School was built in 1973 on what had been a strawberry field bounded by Anderson Creek. Bradshaw's Late French Immersion programme operated since 1977 and offered programmes for Grades 6 and 7. Bradshaw also offered Early Literacy for Primary Grades, Roots of Empathy Programme, and a music programme for all grades including, Ukulele for grades 4 to 6 and Guitar for grade 7. On Thursday, June 28, 2007 Bradshaw dismissed the students for the last time due to successive years of low enrollment. The students and staff were relocated to surrounding Brookswood schools in the Fall of 2007 with the fate of the unused building unknown.

Although the building is not currently occupied for use of public schooling, it is still used to store materials for the late french immersion program, as there is no room in the portable class rooms supplied for the program at the new grandfathering school Noel Booth Elementary.
