  • (Ordained Or Lay) in the Parish of Girlington, Heaton and Manningham
    1 Urban Pioneer Minister (ordained or lay) in the Parish of Girlington, Heaton and Manningham 2 Contents The Bishop’s Statement The Team Vision About the Area About the Churches & the Missional Community Our Story so far About the Team The Urban Pioneer Minister Role About You Some facts and figures Practicalities The Diocese of Leeds 3 Nearby Lister Park 4 The Bishop’s Statement The newly-created parish of Girlington, Heaton and Manningham is a very important one within the Bradford Episcopal Area and the Diocese of Leeds. Formed from the historic parishes of St Philip’s Girlington, St Paul’s Manningham, St Barnabas Heaton and St Martin’s Heaton, this very large parish of over 47,000 people contains some of the most deprived areas in the country. Housing includes poor-quality private-rented homes, a large council estate, large family homes and semi-rural properties. Over two-thirds of the population is Muslim, mainly from Bangladesh and the Mirpur area of Pakistan. 71% are of Asian origin and 22% white (of whom significant numbers are from Eastern Europe). My desire is to see the new parish develop confident disciples and leaders, who can reach out into the parish in forms of mission which both win new disciples for Jesus and also bring transformation and hope to those affected by the many forms of poverty experienced locally. In doing so, the opportunity is there to make the most of the different gifts and resources of the four churches so that they can achieve more together in mission and ministry than they could on their own.

  • 24 April 2018 Mr Luke Weston Headteacher Bingley Grammar
    Ofsted Piccadilly Gate Store Street Manchester T 0300 123 4234 M1 2WD www.gov.uk/ofsted 24 April 2018 Mr Luke Weston Headteacher Bingley Grammar School Keighley Road Bingley West Yorkshire BD16 2RS Dear Mr Weston Short inspection of Bingley Grammar School Following my visit to the school on 27 March 2018 with Elizabeth Cresswell and Peter Cole, Ofsted Inspectors, I write on behalf of Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education, Children’s Services and Skills to report the inspection findings. The visit was the first short inspection carried out since Bingley Grammar School was judged to be good in March 2013. This school continues to be good. The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You have created a clear vision and worked closely with staff, pupils, parents and carers to achieve it. The areas for improvement identified at the previous inspection have been addressed successfully. Consequently, the outcomes achieved by pupils have improved over time. Pupils do indeed ‘belong, grow and succeed’, as stated in the school motto. However, you are not complacent. In our discussions, you told me, ‘We are always looking ahead. We want to get better.’ You have been able to focus your efforts where they are needed because leaders, including governors, have an accurate understanding of the school’s strengths and weaknesses. Improvements are evident in many aspects of the school’s work, including the quality of teaching and leadership. As a result of your commitment to staff development and links with local universities, training programmes for staff are helping to enhance their effectiveness in the classroom.
