I think Bishop Wood School is the most special school I have ever worked in. I have been overwhelmed by the kindness, generosity and support of the school community and I expect you and your children to experience the same warmth of welcome when your child comes into our school.

At Bishop Wood it is my priority to provide education of the highest possible quality within the supportive Christian context of the school. Your children only have one chance at education and I believe passionately, as both a parent and a teacher, that we must get this right for our children.

Mrs Hardman
I feel very privileged to be the Headteacher of a school with happy, hardworking and well-disciplined pupils who have a clear sense of right and wrong, where there are high expectations regarding work and behaviour. Your children and their needs will always be my top priority.
As parents you will always be consulted and informed about issues relating to your child‛s education. I would always want you to feel free to question, seek clarification, affirm the work of the school and influence change. I actively encourage this of our parents. My view is that we can only best serve the needs of our pupils if our parents are happy with what we are trying to achieve.

I believe that a school like Bishop Wood, with a strong Christian foundation, provides the very best quality of education to assist in the holistic, all round development of your child. Attending and working in a school with a clear Christian foundation is a wonderful privilege that must never be taken for granted. Alongside this privilege comes the responsibility of you as parents to support the school in nurturing the development of your child academically and spiritually.

I believe the hallmarks that make Bishop Wood distinctive are these features:

We are a very family orientated community. We want to share your family joys and support you in times of difficulty with your concerns.
Every child is known, loved and respected for the unique and wonderful contribution they bring to the school.
Compassion and forgiveness are key words as far as the school is concerned. The principle of reconciliation is a very important part of our religious foundation.
Success is shared and difficulties are talked through.
Every person is valued. Every person is special and unique in the eyes of God.
Your child is a very precious gift. I am very well aware of the immense trust you will be placing in us as a school to shape your child‛s thinking, education and personal development. You need to know that I will always honour and respect that trust and do the very best for your child. I look forward to working in close partnership with you all.

With kind regards,
Linda Hardman
Headteacher
