A warm welcome to the Bishop of Hereford's Bluecoat School.

As the Headteacher of The Bishop of Hereford’s Bluecoat School I am privileged and honoured to be entrusted with the leadership of this distinguished institution and to work with dedicated students, staff, parents/carers, and governors. The school has a long and proud history, built upon a foundation of strong values and excellence.

As a parent choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions that must be made, our website aims to provide the information necessary to promote our school and support your decision.

At Bishop’s we aim to provide each student with opportunities and values to flourish. We value our reputation as a happy caring community where students are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning and development. As a school we focus upon the development of the whole student. We strive to ensure that students excel academically and work closely with parents and carers to provide an environment and ethos that means each student leaves Bishop’s as kind, compassionate, successful, and responsible community members. We all want children to mature and live happy, positive, fulfilling lives that maximises their potential, whether that is university, Oxbridge, or a vocational profession.

There are many opportunities on offer for students at Bishop’s, both within and outside the normal curriculum. We are proud that students try new experiences and develop their gifts and talents in sports and the arts. We encourage students to take on leadership responsibilities in line with their interests ranging from being part of our student council, helping to run facilities such as the library or providing audio visual support for productions, to leading teams and performing.
