With approximately 4000 students studying on over 150 undergraduate, postgraduate, vocational and professional courses, we are one of the largest providers of Higher Education in England outside of the university sector. Studying Higher Education is a big decision and an important investment in yourself and your future. If you decide that Bradford College is right for you, then you’ll benefit from courses which have a vocational and professional emphasis, a friendly and supportive environment, taught hours above those at many universities, good levels of teacher access and support and typical group sizes below those at university. As we are passionate about offering quality and affordable higher education courses, you will also benefit from tuition fees that are significantly less than what the vast majority of universities are charging. In terms of the quality of our courses, we are proud to have been awarded the highest judgement possible in a review of our higher education provision in 2010 by the Quality Assurance Agency, the body responsible for academic quality and standards in UK higher education. Bradford is unique amongst Colleges because of its breadth of provision and long history of providing higher education. It is because of this distinctiveness that we are seeking Taught Degree Awarding Powers, which is the authority to validate our own undergraduate and postgraduate courses. If approved, it is likely that this would come into effect from 2012.

Eccleshill is a predominantly residential area, stretching from Five Lane Ends in the west to the District boundary with Leeds in the east. As well as Eccleshill, this ward also contains the Thorpe Edge, Ravenscliffe and Fagley housing estates. Population The latest population estimates for mid-2019 show that 19,530 people live in Eccleshill ward. 26.5% of the population is aged under 16 Worth Valley has the lowest percentage of young people with 16.6% and Little Horton has the highest percentage with 32.7%.

  • 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.

One of our aims is to harness the skills and talents that are out there in schools but also to see if some of the knowledge and interests of staff can be shared with children and teachers. Maggie Power has been working with staff at Marshfield Primary School in Bradford, using her skills as a story teller to work with the children in year 5. She has linked up with her old student, Michael Spalton, who is now deputy head at the school, to plan a small project that will involve sharing stories.

The FEFC’s inspectorate inspects and reports on each college of further education every four years.

College inspections are carried out in accordance with the framework and guidelines described in Council Circular 93/28. They involve full-time inspectors and registered part-time inspectors who have knowledge and experience in the work they inspect. Inspection teams normally include at least one member who does not work in education and a member of staff from the college being inspected.

The new Director of Finance and Corporate Services (DFCS), appointed 1 August 2017, realised that the financial outturn would not be in line with that submitted in the July 2017 financial plan. The DFCS informed the ESFA in October 2017 to say that they had uncovered some financial issues and the college was likely to run out of money in December 2017. The college’s revised high-level financial plan 2017 to 2019 shows financial health as ‘Inadequate’ in the current year. The college requested Exceptional Financial Support (EFS). As a result, the college was issued with a Notice To Improve (NTI) for financial health, dated 30 October 2017, and was referred to the FE Commissioner. The NTI requires the college to prepare a full financial recovery plan, ahead of a stocktake assessment in February 2018, in order to secure the financial position of the college. Background Bradford College Group is one of the biggest further education colleges in the country with over 20,000 students. It is also one of the largest institutions of higher education outside of the university sector. It is the largest institution providing 16 to 19 education and training within the Bradford local authority area.
