Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
Enrichment is your right. At Bradford Academy we believe every learner has the right to more than just a first class education. You have the right to the opportunity to explore the world we live in; to see, do and learn new things.

EPQ (Extended Project Qualification)
Equivalent to half an A level and up to 28 extra UCAS points, learners pursue a topic of their choice through independent research, culminating in a project, report, or performance.
First Aid
Work with an approved provider to obtain your externally recognised emergency First Aid qualification. Having a first aid qualification can help you get employment and with voluntary work plus some employers pay first aiders an additional wage.
Cooking & Baking
Don’t just eat beans on toast, learn to develop the knowledge, understanding and confidence to cook quality home made meals and baked goods for your family, friends or even on a date. You will also learn transferable skills to allow you to cook a range of styles and dishes.
