Immanuel College in Bradford is expanding its sixth form facilities with a £4m project that will increase student capacity by 100, bringing the total to 330 students by September. The expansion is a response to growing demand and oversubscription, with the school among 42 education providers eligible for post-16 Government funding.
Property consultancy Eddisons provided comprehensive support for the project, acting as technical adviser for the Bradford Diocesan Academies Trust, from securing funding to overseeing design, planning, and construction management. The college’s new building will feature six classrooms, a social study area, a common room, and a dining space. Sustainability is a key focus, with solar panels, LED lighting, and enhanced insulation incorporated into the design.
The project also includes improvements to the school’s sports facilities, including a levelled area for a Sports England-compliant football pitch. Additional outdoor accessible space has been created for students.
Construction began after receiving planning approval in 2023, and the new facilities are set to provide a modern, sustainable learning environment for the expanding student cohort.
