History And Philosophy Of 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 a 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 take 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.
