BRADFORD high school Immanuel College has retained its Good rating following a recent Ofsted inspection.

The school, in Thackley, was described as “ambitious”, and said its leadership had the ability to make the school Outstanding.

Inspectors praised the “strong and determined middle and senior leadership teams”, and also the governors for their “commitment to the school”.

Safeguarding is also strong, with the school going “above and beyond to ensure children are safe”.

Carol Dewhurst, chief executive of Bradford Diocesan Academies Trust, which runs the school, said: “We are really pleased the consistent high standard of education delivered by Immanuel has been recognised throughout this report.

“The staff and leadership at the school have a relentless drive to ensuring that every child gets the very best education and experience growing up during the time at the school, and our pupils work extremely hard to secure that vision.

“This report is a positive testament to the effort and commitment of both the staff and students at Immanuel College”.
