Welcome

Welcome to our website. Ours is a school where students are known, nurtured and inspired. Families who attend church, and many who do not, choose our school not only for its Christian ethos and academic success but because students thrive here.


As Headteacher, I am proud to lead a strong team of dedicated staff who fulfil our aims every day. The best way to find out about us is to see the school in action and families are always very welcome to visit.

About Us

Thank you for the interest you have shown in The Bishops' Blue Coat Church of England High School. We hope that our web site will give you and your child a clear picture of the qualities which make The Bishops' High School so special and distinctive and help you to see why it enjoys such a very good reputation.

This is a church school, not only in name but also in character. We are proud of its Christian foundation and ethos. The Bishops' High School is a medium sized school and we take delight in the close relationships which develop between pupils, staff and parents. The Christian family atmosphere which we foster helps our pupils to develop a sense of self-worth and responsibility. We value the uniqueness of each child.

Headteacher's Message

The courses we offer are taught by well qualified, highly experienced and dedicated teachers. In addition to our academic strength and the quality of curriculum provision, we place a strong emphasis on individual care, nurture and support. This, together with the high standard of appearance and behaviour of our pupils, helps to explain the school's very good reputation and continuing popularity.

The Bishops' High School is a good and continually improving school and received very good reports from OfSTED. We are at an exciting stage of our development with a rising profile of academic performance, continual investment in modern resources for learning and teaching and new accommodation.

We are confident that our strengths, achievements and commitment to partnership with parents provide a firm foundation upon which to build your child's future. Should you have any further questions you would like to ask, or if you would like to see the school, please contact the school office to arrange a visit.
