Layla Azeez
Assistant Principal - Learner Progress
I graduated from the University of Huddersfield with a BSC Honours Degree in Behavioural Sciences. I followed this with a PGCE PCET where I gained qualified teacher and lecturer status 15 years ago. That very same year I was employed as a Health and Social Care teacher at Bradford Academy and have been privileged to work here ever since.
I have had the pleasure of being Head of Department for the last 13 years leading across Social Studies, Humanities and currently the Health and Business Department. Alongside this role I also lead on the Careers and Technical Education (CTE) for Health and Child Development, where I sit on the local CTE board as a member. This enables students to gain access to careers education including work placements and opportunities linked to industry in and around Bradford. I have recently progressed to Assistant Principal being responsible for the Quality of Education leading on whole school curriculum and progress.
My ambition is to promote student development and wellbeing, advocating a love of learning. I am privileged to shape and influence the lives of young people so they are fully equipped for their next destination and for being global citizens.
