Sufficiency of Specialist places for Children and Young People requiring Alternative Provision (AP)
Bradford has experienced a significant increase in the number of children and young people who attend educational settings providing AP. Projections indicate that demand for this will continue to grow across all sectors.
In order to ensure there is sufficient access to the AP that is needed, additional places at AP settings are now required. The proposal is to increase the number of places at BAPA from 65 to 107, so an increase of 42 places.
If you are transporting your child in your vehicle, it may be possible to claim for assistance with costs. Complete the form above and details regarding this option can be found at the end of the application form.

BAPA Ofsted Inspection
We are delighted to announce, that following an inspection by OFSTED in April 2023, we have been awarded the highest possible rating of `Outstanding` in all areas.
Below are just some of the wonderful things that the OFSTED inspection team said about BAPA:
Leaders are aspirational for what pupils can achieve during their time at the school.
Highly skilled staff have created a place where pupils feel safe and valued as individuals. Staff quickly get to know pupils so that the curriculum they receive is suitably ambitious.
Pupils value and respond positively to the high expectations set. This is seen in the quality of their work, their knowledgeable contributions to lessons, their attendance and their behaviour.
Staff seamlessly balance kindness, respect, humour, routines and boundaries.
Pupils are very positive about the difference the staff here make for them.
Pupils rapidly broaden their knowledge during their time here.
Nearly all older pupils gain the qualifications they need and go on to future education and employment.
Pupils of all ages leave the provision much better equipped for the world ahead.
Schools should show the compulsory times they are open. This time runs from the official start (8.45pm) of the school day (morning registration) to the official end (2.30pm) of the compulsory school day. It includes breaks, but not optional before or after school activities… Click to view more
