Bishop Wordsworth's Grammar School

Bishop Wordsworth's School is a Church of England boys' grammar school in Salisbury, Wiltshire for students aged 11 to 18. The school is regularly amongst the top-performing schools in England, and in 2010 was the top school performer for the English Baccalaureate. Bishop’s enjoys a hard earned reputation as one of the finest schools in the country. The school is well known for its traditions of excellence, its strong links with the Church of England and the Cathedral, and its sense of pride in the school community. The school has Language College Status, and a second specialism in Science, both of which have further enhanced both facilities and quality of provision, and BWS also became an Academy School in March 2011. There is also extensive curricular collaboration at post-16 level with South Wilts Grammar School for Girls. Excellence permeates all areas of school life. School Sport is exceptionally strong, and the traditions in Music and Performing Arts are impressive. The school is characterised by a culture of challenging boys to do their best while, at the same time, offering them the support that they need to do really well. Older boys are asked to take leadership responsibilities and operate as role models and mentors for those in lower years. We place great importance on delivering an all round education for all of our boys.
