School Description

This school is larger than average. Most students are of White British heritage. Very few are at the early stages of learning English. The proportion of students known to be eligible for additional government funding, known as the pupil premium, is broadly average. In this school, the funding is used to support students who are eligible for free school meals and those in the care of the local authority. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs and are supported through school action is average. The proportion who are supported at school action plus or who have a statement of special educational needs is below average. The executive headteacher is a national leader of education (NLE). He coordinates the school’s support work in a number of local primary and secondary schools and academies. The executive headteacher works closely with the headteacher in leading and managing Bishop Bell School. The school enters some Year 11 students early for examinations in English and mathematics. The school uses one alternative training provider, Heathercroft Training, which provides courses in early years and horse care. The school also provides some post-16 apprenticeship courses to former students and others. Since the last inspection, the on-site nursery, run by the governors, has closed. The school met the current government floor standards in 2013, which set the minimum expectations for students’ attainment and progress. A new headteacher has been appointed to start in September 2014.

"> My daughter has just left with 12 A*-C grade GCSEs and my other daughter moved to the school in Y9. The teachers are fantastic, courteous and very good at their jobs. Both girls have been happy (considering it's secondary school!) and have made good friends. Discipline and structure is good, parental contact only where necessary and I thoroughly recommend it.
