Christ Church Academy, based in Shipley, is a primary school for 210 children between the ages of 3 and 11. As a proudly Christian school, they pride themselves on transmitting the values of their faith to their students and applying them in the everyday running of their school. However, they also strive to give each pupil the ideal conditions in which to express their individuality and explore their unique talents. Their concern lies not only with the social and cultural aspects of a child’s development, but also with their moral and spiritual growth.

Christ Church Academy is a small school, in which the staff works very closely with the parents to ensure the best possible environment is provided to the pupils across all three stages of their primary education. As a result, pupils at this Academy are well-behaved and interested in learning, and show a clear-cut desire to succeed in their studies.

Leaders have developed a caring and nurturing ethos within the school. The foundations of this ethos are the core values of compassion, community and achievement. Pupils learn through a well-planned curriculum which builds, year on year. (Ofsted April 2022)

Christ Church Academy (previously Windhill Primary School) joined BDAT in November 2013 as the second school to enter the Trust.
