Ethos & Values

Our Vision

The Bishops' Blue Coat Church of England High School is an exciting place to be.

We know, nurture and inspire our community to be the best version of themselves through a better understanding of the Christian faith and a rich set of opportunities that support and challenge our learners so they are equipped to succeed.

Through their engagement in society at Bishops’ and beyond, students make a positive difference through their wise action and a sense of responsibility.

Our students’ initiative, drive and resilience will
enable them to flourish and live ‘life in all its fullness.’ (John 10:10).

Our Mission

  • We are a Christian, non-selective and inclusive 11-18 academy
  • We are small enough to know everybody, whilst being able to offer a broad curriculum and a range of opportunities that develop talents and abilities to the full
  • We aim to maintain long-term financial and environmental sustainability and be a positive force in the community
  • We support students to achieve exam results of which they and their families are proud and in turn prepare students for their chosen next steps
  • We strive for excellence
