Kabir Hameed
Assistant Principal - Behaviour
I initially worked for Yorkshire Building Society as a Sales/Mortgage Advisor. In 2004, my first child was born, igniting my passion to work with young people in Bradford. As a native of Bradford, I aimed to give back to the city where I grew up. This led me to a position as a learning mentor at the primary school I attended as a child. In 2007, I joined Bradford Academy and have remained dedicated to the youth of Bradford since then. My roles have evolved to meet the Academy’s needs, but my commitment to Bradford’s youth has remained constant.
Currently, I serve as the Associate Assistant Principal for behaviour at the Academy, overseeing the pastoral team’s daily operations. I also ensure that we consistently uphold our standards for rules and regulations, striving to raise the bar and close educational gaps. Beyond managing the Academy, I am deeply passionate about inspiring our young people. I take the lead on various extracurricular activities, such as organizing Anti Bullying Week, arranging trips like the one to Disneyland Paris, London and running a Summer school program to support our Year 7 students transitioning from primary to secondary education.
My ultimate ambition for our learners is to help them unlock their potential, foster self-belief, and, most importantly, develop into compassionate individuals who contribute to making Bradford a positive place to live.
