Bradford Christian School is a private school situated in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England.[1] It contains a primary school, a middle school, and a senior school, and takes pupils from the age of 4 to 16 years old.[2] It has been running since 1993, and the headmaster, Mr P.J. Moon, helped in the foundation of the school. It helps sponsor trips to Romania every year for older students.

The school was one of a group of Christian schools which challenged the ban on corporal punishment in UK schools, citing Proverbs Chapter 23:13-14: "Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with the rod, he will not die", but their case was rejected by the Law Lords in 2005.[3]

The school is a registered charity, number 1027573.
