The Bulmershe School

The Bulmershe School is a heavily oversubscribed school which sits at the heart of the Woodley community. We are a co-educational school and a member of the Corvus Learning Trust. We welcome approximately 1,500 students aged between 11 and 18 each day, who come from diverse backgrounds and cultures. Our vibrant and inclusive school strives for students to be happy, self-confident and aspirational learners and thinkers. We take enormous pride in our caring reputation and anyone who joins our team should be committed to achieving high levels of responsibility, mutual respect and resilience within the safe and nurturing environment of our school community. The Bulmershe curriculum is designed to cultivate a love of learning and provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge required to navigate a path towards a happy and successful life. Our school enables and challenges students to experience and excel in a broad range of opportunities that centre on academic disciplines, social interactions, leadership pathways, careers and mental wellbeing. By consistently offering a calm and structured environment, The Bulmershe School is one where students can make rapid progress. This, as identified by Ofsted, is “based on outstanding teaching combined with high level of care for the individual child”. We recognise that a school’s success is not based solely on its academic achievements and we provide a means for our students and staff to explore other interests, develop new skills and strengthen friendships. During the last 10 years, we have seen significant investment in the school campus including a new 400 seat, fully equipped auditorium, supporting the schools thriving performing arts faculty. WBC recently opened a 14 million leisure centre in the school campus, which includes a 4-court sports hall and a 6 lane swimming pool. With a supportive staff body and nurturing environment, we believe The Bulmershe School is a place where you can really make a difference.
