Our Curriculum
Bradford Forster Academy Curriculum Statement
Bradford Forster Academy’s curriculum is fused with its vision, which is to meet the needs of a diverse group of young people, many of whom experience severe social disadvantage:
Through God’s love, we inspire young people to become outstanding and ambitious for themselves by being a community of hope, endurance, trust and forgiveness.
We: teach with excellence
live from faith
model exemplary behaviour
inspire greatness
We have 6 periods every day, making 30 periods in the week. There is a Tutor Time every morning with a 2 minute silence reflection from Monday – Friday. Break (15 minutes) is organised alongside a 15 minute Collective Worship and Guided Reading session. Students have a 30 minute lunch at the beginning or end of Period 5.
School starts at 8:25am and finishes at 2:50pm for Year 7, Year 8 and Year 9, and at 2:55pm for Year 10. Year 11 finish at 3pm – although the expectation is that students will attend afterschool intervention sessions until 3.45pm.
