Immanuel College is a mixed Church of England secondary school and sixth form located in Idle, City of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. It was officially opened in October 2001.

History

The school replaced the now demolished Eccleshill upper school on Harrogate Road, Eccleshill. Construction began in 2000 and was finally opened in 2001 by the Bishop of Bradford, David Smithmany parts of the school were still unfinished and it wasn't until 2003 that the school could be considered fully built. The school now has modern facilities such as modern computer suites in most departments, dining facilities and a large sports hall.

Previously a voluntary aided school administered by Bradford City Council, in February 2016 Immanuel College was converted to academy status. However, the school continues to be under the guidance of the Diocese of Leeds, and coordinates with Bradford City Council for admissions.
