In Partnership to Educate, Nurture and Empower

Head of School - Rachael Cole

Bishop Young is a welcoming, caring, calm, disciplined, inspiring and purposeful environment.  One of the greatest strengths of the academy is our focus on quality teaching and we are committed to ensuring that all our students achieve outstanding results.

We have high expectations of all of our students and aim to equip them with the knowledge, skills and self-confidence they need to achieve life-long success.  Our dedicated and forward-thinking staff focus on our culture of challenging and inspiring students, in an environment of mutual respect where each child is recognised as unique and special.

At Bishop Young we have provided young people and their families with a therapeutic, nurturing, and academically rigorous learning environment.

Through a bespoke and tailored Character Education Programme, “The BISHOP Character”, we are committed to ensuring that our students are given opportunities to develop ‘soft skills’ such as perseverance and integrity, so that they are able to sustain success when they leave us and move on to Higher Education or work.

We prioritise support for staff and students around SEMH and wellbeing. Please follow the social media links below to see examples of this. As such, our staff and students feel valued and loved.

Since opening as a new academy in 2017, we have made exceptional progress. Bishop Young is achieving great things and we are looking for people with a caring and nurturing ethos to be part of our team.
