Bradford Council has a statutory duty to ensure there are sufficient school places in the District to meet present and future demand .
The demand for school places changes over time and predicting demand is a complex task involving a range if factors such as birth rates, housing growth and inward and outward migration.
For forecasting and planning purposes all secondary schools are organised into 8 planning areas of schools and are based on where children live and which schools they are likley to attend. For secondary schools this is likely to cover a much wider area across
the District particularly for faith schools. Note however that this does not restrict parents making preferences for any school across the District or elsewhere.
School Organisation Plan: Duties, responsibilities and the underlying principles
to the provision of education facilities in Bradford, consultation.
The School Organisation Plan is currently being reviewed and will be published later this year as a new document combining School Organisation, Childcare Sufficiency and SEND Sufficiency planning.
