Bradford Christian School

• Bradford Christian School opened with 37 pupils in September 1993 with a vision of providing a Biblical alternative to a secular education.
• We currently have 150 children drawn from over thirty different churches in Bradford and the surrounding areas
• We are also pleased to educate a number of children from non-Christian families
• Bradford Christian School does not reflect the doctrines of any one church or denomination but it open to serve the wider Christian Community in Bradford and surrounding areas
• We undertake to educate children from Reception (age 4) to Year 11 (age 16). Our pupils' studies normally culminate in GCSE examinations.
• We approach curriculum design from a Biblical position but also recognise and acknowledge the standards set by National Curriculum, as laid down by the Secretary of State for Education.
• The school uses a structured reading scheme.
• Each member of the staff at Bradford Christian School is first and foremost a dedicated Christian who loves and seeks to serve God.
• The vast majority of teachers are professionally qualified and have previously taught in other local schools.
• The school teaching staff is supplemented by committed parents who help with activities such as sports, crafts, sewing, cooking, singing and the playing of musical instruments.
• The school offers a full range of curricular and extra-curricular activities, a number of which takes place away from the site due to spatial constraints.
• The school aims to present children with the created world in all its aspects, enabling them to relate correctly to it and eventually make a useful and godly contribution to society.
• It is our desire that children see the world and its people from God's perspective and acquire the ability to base all their decisions on the scriptural principles they have been taught.
• It is our hope that our pupils will be able to face life with all its problems and challenges with hope, determination and resourcefulness.
• We sincerely desire to see all our pupils make the best of their God-given abilities, whatever they may be, thus preparing them to be useful citizens and effective servants in the Church of Christ.

• In short, Bradford Christian School aims to place God and His Word, The Bible, at the centre of its education.

• Bradford Christian School is affiliated to the Christian Schools Trust (charity number 293315), a fellowship of over 60 Christian schools across Great Britain.

• Bradford Christian School is part of Christian Schools Trust .
