On Friday night our academy charity ‘Friends of Delius’ hosted the most brilliant Bollywood Night! ️ 

Pupils and their families were invited, as well as our staff and their families too! The night was filled with lots of dancing, good food and great company! 

We had a special performance and dance workshop from Punjabi Roots, which got everyone onto their feet, showing off their best Bollywood dance moves. We were also treated to a live performance by Savita of some classic Bollywood songs! 

Although our special evenings such as these are about bringing our community together in an accepting and inclusive environment, we still work towards raising money for our ‘Friends of Delius’ Charity for our pupils too. We are thrilled to announce we raised over £1,000! 

We couldn’t of done this without the amazing support from we receive from our community. We would like to give a huge thank you to;

Autumn Term Stunning Start!  

During our World of Work Week we worked hard to think about professions our pupils would love to engage with and explore - so we had to choose some professions that involve water!  

We had brilliant volunteers from NIC Services Group Ltd. bring along 2 irresistible opportunities for us. First they brought along their window cleaning equipment and showed us how to use it, we had shiny windows all round! We had to learn how to use the different equipment, following instructions from an adult!  They also brought their litter picking equipment and we were experimenting using their litter pickers to get litter out of gooey….edible….slime! We also ran our very own ‘Delius Car Wash’, where we used different sponges, sprays and cloths to have shiny clean cars too! Lots of our pupils have been through car washes, but loved getting hands on this time and doing it themselves!  We want to say a huge thank you to those that volunteered at this years World of Work Week, you really are providing irresistible opportunities for our pupils!

Our World of Work Week ‘kicked off’ with pupils from our BD7 site becoming footballers! 

Pupils worked really hard to develop their football skills, and participated in drills to learn what it takes to be a good footballer! Their favourite was a drill in which they had to keep a cone on their head whilst dribbling a football, developing their ability to look up whilst dribbling! 

All the pupils had a great time, and loved the opportunity to give football a go at Bradford Power League's accessible pitches! 

Thank you for having us Power League Bradford! (For those who want to continue or start fun football sessions, Power League Bradford hosts SEN sessions every Saturday morning from 9-10am for £3 - just come along and play!)
