‘Known, Nurtured, Inspired’ is more than a strapline – The Bishops’ School tries to live by it in all that we do.
The Bishops’ School is an 11-18 Church of England High school (NOR 1060 including 180 in a growing Sixth Form) situated in attractive grounds in Chester. The school is at an exciting stage as it looks to appoint a new Headteacher to move the school onward in its journey as a high achieving Church School, following the existing post holder’s appointment as principal of an international school in North Africa.
The Bishops’ School was judged ‘Good’ in its recent Ofsted inspection (March 2015) with many outstanding features. The school is in a strong position with good and improving examination results as well as having an excellent reputation in the area.
Situated close to the M56/A55/M53 the school has excellent road links to be able to attract candidate interested from a wide geographic area.
