About Bishopshalt School
Bishopshalt is an 11-18 comprehensive school with around 1303 pupils including a Sixth Form of 390+. It ws formally an Arts College, specialising in music and the performing arts. The School therefore has an excellent reputation and is over-subscribed with in excess of 1300 applications each year for the 186 places in Year 7 and a long waiting list in each year group. In addition, each year many local 16 year olds transfer to Bishopshalt for their Advanced Level studies and local firms are keen to employ our school leavers. In December 2016, we were inspected by Ofsted and maintained the judgement given to us in February 2012, when they reported that we are a ‘Good’ school in all categories.
