About Bradford Academy

Bradford Academy is a large, all-through Church of England school in the Bradford local authority, serving pupils from age 2 right through to 19. It is one of 39 secondary schools in the borough, and while it does not rank among the top-performing peers locally — those spots are held by Dixons Trinity Academy, Feversham Girls' Secondary Academy, and Dixons Cottingley Academy — it sits within a diverse educational landscape. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Dixons City Academy, just 1.6 kilometres away, which gives a sense of the competitive local market. With 1,682 pupils on roll, Bradford Academy is a sizeable institution, and its mixed, Church of England character means it serves a broad cross-section of the community. The school is led by headteacher Melanie Saville, and its facilities — including a theatre, chapel, sixth form centre, and astro turf — suggest a school that invests in both academic and extracurricular space.
