Charisse Taylor's Company Details
Bradford Academy opened its doors to its first pupils in September 2007. We have grown rapidly and now have 1100 pupils, including over 200 at Post 16. Bradford Academy is not just another new school though; it provides a unique way to give children the education they deserve, and to equip them with the attitudes, skills and knowledge, that they will need to lead successful lives. We want our students to stretch themselves and to reach further than they ever thought possible. We are sponsored by the Diocese of Bradford and the international community action charity Toc H; together we have developed Citizenship with Enterprise as the specialism of the Academy. This specialism permeates every aspect of life within the Academy. Symbolically, our new building has the ‘Forum' at its heart, demonstrating our commitment to involve, inform and inspire our pupils to use their voice so that every learner is known, valued and understood. There are no secrets to excellent education: it entails good teaching and learning, strong support and hard work. Our ambition is for at least 60% of our students to gain five good GCSEs, ensuring we are in the top 5% of similar schools nationally. We have recruited high quality teachers from across the country, at all levels of leadership and management. They have decided to join us and to share in our commitment to become an outstanding school.
