    Deputy Headteacher's Message

    Dear Parents
    Some of you may already be aware that, after working at the school for 31 years, this will be my final year at BCS. I will, therefore, be leaving the school permanently in July 2025.
    I will be the last of the original founding group to leave. It is really good to be able to do so knowing that the school, despite current challenges, is in a good place. It is also great to see a younger, committed staff team who will take up the baton of Christian Education in Bradford and make it relevant for the current generation.
    It has been a privilege and a blessing to have had the opportunity to contribute to such a unique place but I am confident that, under Jane Prothero's leadership, the school can continue to prosper and to do good work in the Kingdom of God.
    Wishing you all every blessing,

    Headteacher's Message

    Our Mission

    To provide a holistic Christian education for all and to inspire discipleship.

    Our Vision

    To be a Christian community in which everyone grows in character, faith, knowledge, understanding and wisdom.

    As we reach the end of another busy and productive half term, we want to wish all our pupils and families a very restful and enjoyable break.

    It's been a fantastic half term, filled with Shakepseare week, Middle School, performance of the Twits, a visit from the King and Queen to our playing field, GCSEs and SATs. We're so proud of the hard work and dedication shown by all our students.

    We hope this break provides a much-needed opportunity to relax, recharge, and spend quality time together. Whether you're planning adventures or just enjoying some quiet moments at home, we wish you all the very best.

    We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school, refreshed and ready for more learning, on Monday June 9th.
