Holly Scourfield
Vice Principal Primary - Quality of Education
I graduated from Bradford College in July 2012 and secured a teaching role at Bradford Academy as an NQT. I have taught in all Key Stages (including EYFS) but most recently in Year 5 and 6. In 2015, I became Literacy Lead and in 2018 I became a Specialist Leader of Education for English and progressed to Senior Assistant Vice Principal, responsible for English and Wider Curriculum.
I am now the Vice Principal for Quality of Education and Attendance. I currently don’t have a class of my own but spend lots of time working with teachers and children to ensure what we offer is high quality. As part of my role for English, I ensure that staff receive up to date training and are always supported both in and out of the classroom. It is my passion for all children to love books and I strive to make primary a place where children develop a love of reading and writing and have this as a lifelong skill and passion. In my role as Vice Principal for Quality of Education, I work with lots of subject leaders across primary to ensure that our curriculum is engaging, rich in knowledge and skills and relevant to the community and children we serve. I also lead attendance in primary to ensure that we are doing all we can to support parents and children with coming to school every day and on time.
My ambitions for our students is that they grow into confident, passionate young people who have dreams and aspirations for a bright future. I want our students to leave us ready to work and fight for what they believe in and hold strong British and Christian values. I hope the children who come to Bradford Academy leave feeling proud of themselves, their school and their city.
