Bradford Academy Catchment Area Information
Admission to Bradford Academy follows a different process from mainstream schools. Bradford assesses each child's Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) to determine appropriate placement — catchment area does not apply in the same way as mainstream admissions.
For more information on how Bradford assesses EHCP placements and which schools are named, contact the council's SEND team directly. The council must publish its Local Offer explaining available provision.
