The school’s vision
Jesus said: “I have come that they may have life, life in all its fullness.” This serves as the cornerstone of our school community. By fostering a culture of positive learning experiences rooted in core Christian values, we aim to equip our students for a life of resilience, fulfilment, and meaningful contribution to society.
Everyone is welcome at Bishops, and we believe in the inherent potential of every learner. Through our Christian identity, we strive to:
Provide a nurturing, happy environment where each student is safe, respected as an individual, and makes a positive contribution to the wellbeing of others.
Cultivate resilience and equip students with the skills to overcome challenges, adapt to change, and persevere in the face of adversity. This includes supporting students in recognising that making mistakes is an important part of learning and becoming resilient.
Inspire a delight in learning every day so that students achieve their best, academically, socially and are encouraged to further their enjoyment by participating in extra-curricular opportunities.
Foster a culture of care through our Christian values. We are a caring and inclusive community where students are empowered to make a positive impact on the world. We encourage them to develop a sense of social responsibility and civic engagement.
Empower students to take responsibility for learning and equip them with the skills necessary to take ownership of their learning, communicate effectively, and collaborate with others.
Our core Christian values—Equality, Kindness, Trust, Love, Honesty, Peace, and Forgiveness—guide all aspects of our work at Bishops. These values are essential for building resilient individuals who can make a positive difference in the world.
We invite you to visit our school and experience firsthand the nurturing and inspiring environment we have created for our students.
