Bishop Ramsey Church of England School

Bishop Ramsey is a Christian learning community. As a Church of England school, we work closely with the Diocese of London and education at Bishop Ramsey is based on our Christian view of the world. Our distinctive aims and values seek to ensure that every student has the opportunity to develop their individual skills and talents and that they become responsible and caring adults. We openly value and actively celebrate the diversity of our school community to ensure it is a place where everyone can be themselves and this is a very important and distinct aspect of our approach.

Bishop Ramsey has a strong reputation for academic excellence underpinned by consistently impressive GCSE and A Level results; a consequence of our relentless commitment and ambition to ensuring that each and every student achieves of their very best. Our success is down to our students’ hard work and pride as members of our school, our excellent staff and a broad and varied academic and pastoral curriculum. Our educational environment emphasises traditional standards of uniform and discipline set within a culture of personal responsibility and compassion with a focus on service not self. Our genuine partnership with parents/carers is an important central aspect of how we work.

We see the time that our young people spend at Bishop Ramsey as part of a very important journey of discovery, development and self-awareness and we aim to motivate and inspire our students to set course on the brightest of futures. We view education as a continuum and strive to instil a genuine love of life-long learning in our young people so that they can access excellent opportunities for the next stage in their education, training or careers. Our extensive co-curricular and extra-curricular enrichment provision is extremely important and central to our students’ experience, along with our student leadership and House systems, and we are committed to finding and developing everything that is exceptional in each child, enabling them to flourish.

Both staff and students are very proud of all that we do here and we would be delighted to tell you more. You are welcome to contact the school office on 01895 639227 if you have any further questions.

The Sixth Form at Bishop Ramsey is a vibrant, supportive environment where students who have high aspirations thrive and succeed. The majority of our students go on to University or Higher Apprenticeships. Our superb results mean you would be joining an ever growing Sixth Form with a fantastic track record of success.
Whatever your goals we pride ourselves in ensuring that you are well monitored and supported both academically and pastorally. We have a strong ethos of enrichment offering opportunities to all through conferences, workshops and invited speakers.

We have a special programme to support students applying to Oxbridge and offer extensive additional help to those applying to Medicine/Veterinary/Dentistry etc.

Students have the use of the Hub, our bright and airy cafe, during designated private study periods, as well as use of the dedicated Sixth Form study areas and Library. Wherever you are in the school you will have fast wireless access to our computer network on your laptop.

It is very important to us that you choose the right courses so the Subjects section of this website has further details of each subject. There is also an enrolment surgery in August where we are happy to discuss options further once the GCSE results are out. Please note that although we are a Church School, our Sixth Form is open to students of all backgrounds and faiths and those with no declared faith.
