Members of our Academy Council have been representing school during a piece of work with Cartwright Hall! They visited Cartwright Hall and worked with staff to analyse the accessibility of the museum, and suggest ideas for how the venue could be more accessible and inclusive! Well done to our Academy Council members for representing school so well and making our voices heard! 
At the beginning of every term & topic, we have a Stunning Start where lots of different learning opportunities are provided to get us excited about our new topic! This also gives our teachers the opportunity to assess pupils current knowledge, to guide their planning.
The Immersive Suite was turned into a digital drawing experience, where we could see our artwork projected big, and draw with our whole bodies!
The Sensory Room is where we got to experiment with UV paints! We worked hard to communicate our choices and comment on others' artwork.
In the Music & Drama room we were moving to all kinds of different music, from practicing our line dancing to ballet! We even had all the costumes to get really into character too!
It was noisy in the cooking room for ‘sounds of the kitchen’ - where pupils were practicing their music skills using everyday kitchen objects!
We had 2 artists from The Children’s School of Art come into school to create the most fabulous piece of Art!
Our children collaborated with one another, staff and The Children’s Art School to create an abstract sculptural landscape combining the two artist references of Henry Moore and David Hockney, both born in West Yorkshire!
Our children each created individual elements of the landscape using boxes as fields, and cones and organic shapes as the trees and plants! We explored shapes, colour, pattern and texture, in a range of processes including painting, printing, cutting, sticking, tying and knotting!
Our children were able to express themselves with their chosen materials and were free to play & explore!
I think you can agree they have made something that makes you stop and say “WOW!”
Our topics this term are:
- EYFS: Colour - which is your favourite colour?
- Lower Primary: Create & Express - how do you express yourself?
- Upper Primary: Art & Sculpture - what is art?
What a lovely morning we have had with our parents for our ‘Time to Talk’ coffee morning! Everyone really enjoyed the opportunity to slow down, chat, have some breakfast and even get treated to a hand massage!
Our ‘Time to Talk’ day extended into our staff meeting this afternoon for our academy staff too! We were treated to pizza and a game of bingo, all helping us to loosen up a little and chat about how we’re doing. It was a great afternoon showing just how much we all care about each other and continuing to develop our relationships across our Academy!
Our ‘Christmas Crafternoon’ sessions this week were a real hit!
There was such a great turn out, with lots parents, siblings and even grandparents coming along to join in the fun!
Great memories were made for our children & their families! Those who attended also got the chance to meet other parents, chat with class staff & even make some yummy treats!
Keep an eye out for our next Crafternoon if you didn’t manage to make it this time! 
We are extremely proud to share that after our recent visit from Ofsted, we continue to be a 'good' school!
Please have a look at our Signing Choir Video we made for our performance at The Co-op Academy Trust Recognition Event that took place on Friday 13th of October 2023.
We took some of our pupils to represent the choir and school, but wanted a video so that more of our pupils could get involved! Don't stop us now!
The Science & Media Museum and Co-op Academy Delius have been working very closely together recently, to make it as inclusive and accessible for all in our Bradford community! Representatives from each of our 5 pathways attended a series of workshops today for The Science & Media Museums first ever SEN School Takeover Day!
Ahoy there matey’s! We held our Stunning Start on Wednesday, and the whole school was turned into a wild sea, fit for an adventurer!
On Friday we had our Fabulous Finish! At the end of each term we come together for a ‘Fabulous Finish’ where we all get the opportunity to show off what we have learnt throughout the term.
Today both the BD7 & BD3 sites joined together to have a Science Day! The whole school was turned into a big science laboratory, with experiments of all kinds happening everywhere!
It is our policy to keep the academy open wherever possible. Please assume the academy is open.
Our theme for World Book Day this year was a Fairytale Ball!
