About Us

We, at Bishopslea, are all extremely proud of our School, its standards of education, sport and culture, its 80 year history, its traditions and its ethos.

This, together with our process of education, has combined to produce pupils who are sought after by the Senior Schools we feed.

This is all made possible by the close symbiotic relationship that exists between the committed Board of Governors, the highly professional and competent staff and the supportive parents, all of whom have a will and a responsibility to ensure the success of the school, not only for our current pupils, but for future generations.
