Welcome

Dear parents and students,

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Bishopsford Arts College.  I am very proud of the commitment and achievements of all our students.  Each year standards have improved considerably. We have excellent resources and facilities and a rich and varied curriculum.

We want our students to become confident, articulate individuals, fully involved in the development and progress of their school.  As a Specialist Arts College, with ‘Artsmark Gold’ accreditation, we foster the creative development of each child, which enhances their skills in the wider curriculum.

We became a Trust School in November 2009 and I am very excited about the opportunities that working with partners like Reeds Independent School and Liverpool John Moores University will bring for our students. Another recent development is the opening of our new sixth form, transforming us into an 11-19 institution and giving our students the opportunity to stay with us as they prepare to progress to university.

We are committed to excellent learning and teaching and encourage students to take personal responsibility, with exemplary behaviour in the school and the community.

If you are looking for a school committed to excellence, with high expectations and a caring and safe ethos, Bishopsford Arts College is the place for you.

Our motto is “Challenging all to Achieve, Respect and Excel” (CARE) – as we care about the future life chances of every child in the school community.

I look forward to welcoming you and your child.

Andrew Barker   Principal
