Description: At Bradford Academy every learner will be known, valued and understood.

We will give every student the best education, in the best facilities, with the very best teachers. And we will help them make the most of the wonderful opportunities that they will be offered.

We will affirm our belief in them. That means that we will recognise and value their special and individual talents, skills, abilities and needs.

We will work with every young person to ensure their academic development, their intellectual achievement and their progress as a whole person.

We want to raise their confidence, their desire to learn, to get involved, and to make the best of whatever opportunity comes their way.

We care passionately about providing every learner with the education they need, and the all-round support they deserve.

We will always bear in mind students’ spiritual development, and the Academy building has a space specifically designed with their need for a quiet space in mind.

We welcome students of all faiths and none, and we believe in promoting faith as a way of helping our learners express themselves. It is the underlying strength of our aim to educate the whole person.
