One In A Million (OIAM) is a Bradford based charity that engages predominantly with disadvantaged children and young people, through Sports, Arts and Enterprise. Our core values of compassion, honesty, integrity and excellence are at the heart of all we do. Our name reflects our philosophy: every child is valued and unique.
OIAM Free School opened in September 2013. We are a small secondary school with classes sizes of no more than 25 students. We are continuing to grow each year and by 2019 we will be full including a sixth form. Each year we are oversubscribed for places, but we will remain a small school. Relationships are key to our offer and we will always adopt a family approach so that students feel valued and connected.
Our curriculum is broad and balanced, ensuring students acquire strong basic skills in literacy and numeracy, personal, social and emotional learning and create ‘character’. Our school day ensures quality time for personal, instructional, conceptual and collaborative learning experiences.
Our staff nurture and develop a deep sense of self-worth, pride and ambition in all our students. All students in our school will be seen as unique - as ‘one in a million’.
Since One In A Million started its first community project in Canterbury, Bradford, in 2006, we now deliver formal education and community programmes to over 1,800 children and young people every week. Our ‘Hub and Spoke’ vision places our Free School at the centre of what we do.
One In A Million’s charitable objectives are implemented through five main departments: Community, Corporate Events and Sponsorship, OIAM Free School, Positive Lifestyle Centre and Youth Offending Team.
