Remembrance Day
The 11th hour, the 11th month, we remember the fallen.
At Bradford Academy, we remember those that have given their life for the sake of making our world a better place to live.
We're so proud to say that Year 11 student Isabelle Walker has been named the WINNER of the West Yorkshire Young Poet Laureate 🖋️🎉 Isabelle's in good company, too, as out of the 11 shortlisted students, 3 were from Bradford Academy.
What a week...SIMs training, Ofsted section 8 inspection, Holocaust Beacon school training, Post 16 Open Evening, British Values in Home Team, building starting on our new alternative provision site. Just life in BA!
