Mental health
Do not send your child here if they have mental health difficulties. The school is too large to provide the right support. Some of the key staff do not understand mental health. My child became very unwell here and we ended up leaving. It is large, noisy and chaotic.

SEN support and pastoral team- PLEASE READ
I'm not sure if parents are well aware of the rising threat of online safety but if you are I would NOT recommend this school. I was a victim of a sexually abusive crime where I was groomed online and forced into sending inappropriate images of myself, I was in year 8 at the time and I was 12 when this first initially started. my so called "best friends" at the time hacked into my snapchat account and screenshotted all these photos and videos of me and instead of going to the school to see if th...

Avoid at all costs. Look beyond the facade
I've had 4 children at 4 different Chester High schools. This is, without doubt, the worst one. Don't be fooled by the beautiful campus, the lovely children that show you around. The pastoral care is non-existent, the SEN staff do their best but have no direction. Any issues raised are shot down with the words "oh that doesn't happen at Bishops" It does happen at Bishops, and it happens often. They just don't acknowledge it or deal with it.

what can i say?
eh it’s fine, the lessons are okay but many of my classmates aren’t really that nice also the lunch break is annoyingly long in my opinion. there is a lot of outside space but not much space to sit or hang out so it’s kinda awkward if you’re alone

Behaviour
The school is terrible when dealing with bullying and student behaviour issues, their counciling is horrible and the teachers tend to be incredibly rude towards students, majority of students are also mean, some teachers are lovely though and the education is good.
