Awards

We aim to know, nurture and inspire our students to be the best version of themselves through a better understanding of the Christian faith and providing a rich set of opportunities. We continue to see strong academic results from our Year 11 and Year 13 students year on year. It is a testament to their hard work and that of their parents/carers and teachers. We are focused on the whole child at Bishops’, and we are proud of our achievements.

In our most recent Ofsted inspection the hard work of parents, staff and students was certainly recognised as they judged all areas to be Good or in the case of Personal Development, Outstanding.

‘Outstanding development of each individual’ is woven into the fabric of our school from work within the classroom to the opportunities students experience from visiting speakers, work experience, breakfast seminars, assemblies and much more. Students from Bishops’ are equipped very well for life in modern Britain.
