What the school inspection says

“Pupils love attending Bishop’s Hatfield and are proud to be part of the inclusive and respectful community ... The girls are expertly supported to reach their potential through an ambitious and engaging curriculum, from Year 7 to sixth form. Pupils are excited by their lessons. They actively participate and show high levels of resilience. They discuss what they learn with eagerness and interest, and achieve leaders’ high expectations of them ... Pupils leave as well-rounded individuals. They relish the opportunity to embody ‘Bishop’s 360 values’, which include kindness, ambition and teamwork. Pupils flourish, and support each other to succeed. They excel academically and in wider activities, such as house competition and leadership roles. Older students are fully involved in school life and relish the opportunity to build their character, for example through community service.”
