‘A culture of learning and achievement where

students and their work are highly valued.’ OFSTED

Bishop Perowne Church of England College offers a broad and balanced curriculum centred around a robust core of traditional gCSE subjects. our tradition of outstanding academic success is evident within English, Mathematics and Science. it is further enhanced by a wide range of option qualifications that are understood and valued by further education colleges, universities and employers alike. in addition all students follow courses in information Technology, Religious Education and Physical Education.

a strong, flourishing partnership with the Kings’ School Worcester which includes a wealth of enrichment opportunities and sixth form bursaries, further augments our outstanding provision.

We support our students throughout their academic careers with close personal attention, the tracking of results against targets and a warm recognition of positive attainment at all levels. our students are encouraged to attain at the very highest grades their ability allows; our curriculum gives them options to develop their individual talents.

The Care, guidance and Support of students is a crucial feature of life at Bishop Perowne. Each student has a Form Tutor to act as their pastoral and academic guide throughout their five years with us. our form groups contain a small number of students from each year group reflecting a supportive family structure.

older students are given the responsibility for supporting and aiding younger students, in particular our new Year 7 intake. Form groups are combined into one of our four communities: duckworth, Fearnley, Perrins or Tilley, which in turn are headed by a Community Leader.

our Community Leaders are all experienced senior members of staff ensuring that we maintain an inclusive and well ordered environment in which students feel safe and valued. We also employ two family liaison staff whose role is to nurture those students who may need additional support and provision.

‘The care, guidance and support provided

for students is Outstanding.’ OFSTED

our designation as a Specialist College in the Performing arts ensures that our students have access to facilities and experiences that will benefit them both academically across

the curriculum, socially, and personally. We have frequent performances in theatre, musical theatre, dance and music. We also exhibit our artwork both locally and nationally. Some students may gain a place with us through their ability within the arts: auditions are held annually.

as a Church of England College, Bishop Perowne offers each student the opportunity to flourish within a caring Christian community. our students partake in weekly acts of collective worship, a termly Eucharist service, special service of remembrance led by our Student Worship Team and our popular Carol Service held in the Cathedral. We are fully comprehensive in intake embracing students of all faiths and those of no faith, valuing them equally.
