From the Bradford Christian School
Only 16 pioneering families and a staff who believed they could offer "discipleship as part of a quality christian education" were present when Bradford Christian School first opened its doors in 1993. Both settings were located on the Church on the Way property at Five Lane Ends, Idle, and the school had grown out of the ministry of First Steps Christian Pre-school. Over the following eight years, the school gradually increased to 150 students. Greatly indebted to Church on the Way, the school outgrew the site and took the decision in 2001 to rent rooms on Bolton Lane, a mile from the city centre where a dance school was situated. The location was used in the evening while being used by the school in the morning. Within two terms, we had purchased the school's current location in Bolton Woods. We were able to purchase a vacant school facility, which made the winter of 2001 really joyful. The Secondary Department relocated to Spring Bank the next year after some skillful renovations, and the remainder of the school followed in September 2002. The enrollment of the institution now stands at about 170. We have made regular alterations to the site to accommodate our growth, including converting the old school bike sheds into a very comfortable and inspiring art room in 2006. The school submitted a successful funding request for the Early Years Foundation stage in September 2009. It presently serves as a nursery accepting kids as early as the first term following their third birthday. A DSP unit was established by the school in September 2016 to work with kids who have special educational needs in collaboration with Education Bradford.
