Bradford Academy ‘continues to be good. Relationships between adults and pupils and between pupils are cordial and open. This means that there is an atmosphere of mutual respect and care in the school. This has a very positive impact on learning and pupils’ progress’. Ofsted 2017

We have recently celebrated our tenth anniversary and continue to be judged by Ofsted as a ‘good school’. Having expanded our age range with Learners from the ages of 2 to 19, you will appreciate that this is no mean feat and we don’t sit still. We invest in supporting our Learners and our staff - we know that they are integral to our success.

Bradford holds a vibrant, diverse community and possesses unique character. Its diversity reflects Britain. The Academy plays an important part in preparing young people for life in our complex society. Learners are prepared to be active participants in their own communities through developing relationships and understanding the importance of exercising their voice. We hold this dear and believe it to be a major reason behind our success. We are developing leaders for the future; both staff and Learners. If you share our drive to make the school outstanding, make things happen and want to place your efforts where employees and students are known, valued and understood then we want to hear from you.
