Bishops Preparatory School

Academic

Education in its broadest sense equips young people to assume many varied roles. Central to this broad education is the academic growth made possible by professional teachers deeply committed to both teaching and  learning, addressing the issues of the day in the context of the present and the past. Acquisition of skills needed for success in today's world are important components of our offer, as are also the development of appropriate attitudes and a concern for social justice for all. We also aim to prepare all our boys for progression into tertiary education.

Cultural

Music, art and drama are a vital part of Bishops life.  Boys are encouraged to join societies, take part in dramatic activities, take advantage of the rich tradition of music in all its forms - and generally extend their cultural experiences in a variety of different ways.  As a well-established centre of excellence we have facilities including a fully operational theatre, a professional recording studio and a highly acclaimed music department.

Activities

Bishops offers more than 22 sports, ranging from individual to team sports so as best to suit the needs of each student.  These sports include rugby, hockey, cricket, swimming, athletics, basketball, fencing, golf, rowing, squash, tennis, waterpolo and much more.  Sport is compulsory, as we believe that physical activities contribute to healthy living, proper physical development, and provide boys in team sports the opportunity of  developing a sense of camaraderie among the boys as well as enhancing their ability to work together

towards a common goal.
