The Virtual School is dedicated to ensuring the District’s looked after children and young people achieve their potential. We support schools’ proactive planning, react to the unexpected and remove barriers to progress. We are looking for energetic, flexible and resilient colleagues to join our highly regarded team of Associates.
Unique pupils
Bradford’s looked after children are located within and beyond the District. The Virtual School ensures that every child (3 years -18 years) receives the best start in life that we, as corporate parents, can provide. This is through supporting our looked later children in their base schools.

Associates will actively promote inclusive practice within the classroom setting to ensure acceptance of all children and ensure the education, social, emotional and health development of Virtual School pupils is fully supported
