Bishop Road School is situated in the heart of Bishopston and is an outstanding school with an excellent reputation for sustained high achievement as well as a high quality and varied curriculum. With a history of education stretching back to Victorian times, Bishop Road School is one of the largest primary schools in Bristol currently educating nearly 800 pupils (four classes in most year groups). Parents are supportive and contribute significantly to the school community.

As a large school we have the benefit of a range of high quality facilities including a school gymnasium, cooking room, dedicated indoor climbing wall, three external traversing walls, music facilities and our own school radio. Our children also enjoy visiting our new facility (the Dirac Centre) next to our school field which is used for PE as well as investigations and projects for Maths, Science and Geography.

Bishop Road is a welcoming and happy place to learn and grow. We have a dedicated team of governors, professional and friendly staff and a supportive group of parents and carers working together to give our children the best education possible.

For us, primary means fundamental and we believe we are preparing children for their future lives through ensuring the highest standards in teaching and learning and a wide range of experiences and opportunities as they move through the school. As a school community we believe that the ethos of the school should be built on a foundation of values. These values permeate our approach to all aspects of our school and help us to understand and achieve our core purpose.

We hold three core school values which we share and promote in our community.

At Bishop Road we are people who:

o   Aspire to high standards in all that we say and do

o   Accept and value one another

o   Appreciate and contribute to our world
