We are the City of Culture 2025  Today we held an opening day to introduce the exciting plans we have for the year ahead! 

To kick off, we had lots going on around school: 

  The Sound of Bradford - this was an opportunity to dive into the vibrant sounds from Bradford! From rock and folk, to Bhangra and baseline - pupils made choices, played along and commented on their favourite songs 

 The Opening Ceremony - we recreated the RISE opening ceremony in our Immersive suite, giving our pupils the opportunity to experience what it felt like to be there! 

 Salt Dough Bradford - we unleashed our creativity and brought famous Bradford landmarks to life using salt dough! From the Alhambra Theatre to Salts Mills! 

 Special Assemblies - during our assemblies we learnt about what this all means, what we might see and do, and how we might feel! 

  Community Art - we all worked on small pieces of art, to add together to make a special piece, with everyone taking part! Some of us explored the uses of wool, others looked at Bradford Buildings, and some of us even drew the people who make Bradford! 

 We have developed a plan so that all pupils have the opportunity to learn about, and experience, 5 main Bradford themed topics through the year! (More info to follow soon!) 

 ️ We’re from Bradford and we’re proud!
