An empty office building off one of Bradford’s busiest roads could be converted into a school if a West Yorkshire based education provider’s plans are approved.
Pivot Academy, which has schools in Kirklees and Leeds, and has just submitted a planning application to open a school off Canal Road, on the edge of Bradford city centre. The school, which would provide education for pupils with special educational needs or have struggled in mainstream schools, would be created in the former Uni Express offices on Kings Gate – next to the Ibis Budget hotel. The trust says the school would have 70 pupils, and create 30 jobs.
They offer educational pathways which reflect the individual needs of the students, that helps them to achieve their potential, and equip them for a successful life beyond school. “The offices have been unoccupied for a period of time and during this time has been actively marketed for office use. “The proposed school will provide for KS3 and KS4 pupils who have struggled in previous schools, and pupils with special educational needs, who often have gaps in learning.
