  • A Short History of Bradford College
    A short history of Bradford College Genes from the past The past holds the secret to the genetic ingredients that have created the unique institution that is Bradford College today… Bradford could be said to succeed on its ability to utilise four resources: its Broad Ford beck and tributary streams of soft water, which contributed to the cottage industry of weaving within its natural valley; its largely poor people who from five years of age upwards were the backbone of its labour resources within that industry;its pioneers who led the country in welfare and educational reform; its “useful men” – with the capital to captain industry and the foresightedness to maximise on and develop the potential of canal, rail, steam and power machines that galvanised the industrial revolution. But there is much more to “Worstedopolis” as Bradford was known when it was the capital and centre of the world stage in the production of worsted textiles and the story of its College is not rooted in textile enterprise alone. Bradford had other resources from the outset– stone from its quarries and iron from its seams at Bowling and Low Moor, to the extent that the “Best Yorkshire” iron was in full use at Trafalgar, Waterloo and the Crimea. Bradford was ripe territory for engineers and inventors who automated the production of the woollen processes. Bradford has also made its name in areas that range from automobile production to artificial limb design. All of these strands are evident in the very earliest portfolio on offer – and many survive today. Once technical training emerged, it began – then as today - to deliver the skills that employers and markets require - but whilst Bradford buildings in their locally quarried golden stone rose around the slums, a world of financial “haves” and “have nots” poured into the town.

    Report of the Assistant Director Education School Improvement to the meeting of the Children’s Services Overview and Scrutiny Committee to be held on 15 April 2014. Subject: AY Sport in School Summary statement: This report outlines the national and local policy context for PE and Sport in schools over the last few years and how schools and the local Authority have responded collectively to these changes. Director: Paul Makin, Portfolio: Assistant Director Education and School Children and Young People Improvement Report Contact: Overview & Scrutiny Area: Phone: (01274) 385676 Children’s Services E-mail: [email protected] 1. SUMMARY 1.1 This report outlines the national and local policy context for PE and Sport in schools over the last few years and how schools and the local Authority have responded collectively to these changes. 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 In 2010 the Department for Education (DfE) announced that the National Strategy for PE and School Sport was to be discontinued and that any associated national funding would cease by July 2012. Some of this grant aid was later reinstated to fund a network of School Games Organisers although at a reduced level. For Bradford this reduced the grant aid from £1.5M per annum to £120,000 per annum. In Bradford, the nationally funded School Games Organiser network comprises five School Games Organisers, each providing three days per week of support to school games activity plus other related initiatives. The grant payable to each of the five local partners is circa £24,000 per year. The activity of three of the five School Games Organisers has been enhanced due to local initiatives with financial support from individual school budgets.
