School History
The Bishops’ Blue Coat Church of England High School was founded in 1984 after an agreement between Cheshire County Council and the Church of England. The Bishops of Chester and Birkenhead were instrumental in the school’s foundation.
The Bishops’ High School is the only Anglican secondary school in the Cheshire West & Chester Local Authority and at present one of only two within the Chester Diocese. The other, Sir Thomas Boteler Church of England High School, is in Warrington.
Since 1984 the school has grown in size. Today 1060 attend, including 160 sixth form students. A massive investment in new buildings and facilities has accompanied this growth in numbers. The school is regularly oversubscribed in all years.
