Hanson School BRADFORD’S political leaders have been urged to “dig their heels in” to help reduce a Bradford school’s £5.1 million deficit. The issue of Hanson School’s spiralling deficit was raised at a meeting of Bradford Council’s Executive yesterday morning. A report into the Council’s finances revealed that the Swain House school, which at over 1,600 pupils is one of Bradford’s biggest, had seen its deficit rise from £4.3m to £5.1m in the past year. It comes as the school approaches the 10th anniversary of being given an academy order by the Government - forcing Bradford Council to hand over control of the school to a private academy chain.
‘THEY don’t see any hope - they want a way out’. That is the worrying message from an A&E consultant at Bradford Royal Infirmary (BRI) amid rising numbers of children and young people arriving at hospital who are experiencing a mental health crisis.

He said the realities of Covid - and what it is doing to young people - are becoming “painfully clear”. The impact of the pandemic on youngsters was highlighted in a recent BBC Radio 4 programme on the large-scale Born in Bradford study.
