It serves students from all over Bristol and welcomes those of all faiths and none. We are proud of our diverse, tolerant and respectful community which reflects Bristol’s demographic.

The school is amongst the most oversubscribed schools in Bristol, with a trend of strong results in public examinations at both GCSE and A level.

As part of Cathedral Schools Trust, we are able to offer a coherent and high quality provision of continuing professional development. This includes a comprehensive programme for newly and recently qualified teachers, as well as catering for more experienced colleagues to support career progression.

BCCS is a special place, dedicated to meeting the needs and aspirations of all our students. We are rich in history, but forward looking. Academic and committed to educating the whole child. Unashamedly values driven, with passionate, talented and enthusiastic staff and governors, united by our mission to be ‘Gathered together, that all may thrive’. A school in the heart of Bristol, for all of Bristol. For those who share our values and beliefs, this is an exciting time to join us in our journey to transform lives through education.

The Maths Department

Mathematics is one of the most successful subjects within Bristol Cathedral Choir School with regard to both uptake at A level and the external examination results. Collaboration across Cathedral Schools Trust means that there may well be opportunities to be involved in sharing good practice and developing mathematics with other schools. The department currently has twelve members of staff who work closely together as part of a highly supportive team. Teachers have a tutor role within the pastoral system; the ability to contribute to other co-curricular areas of BCCS life will be welcomed.
