The Bishop of Winchester Academy is a Church of England school that serves Bournemouth families who want their children to experience education within a distinctively Christian ethos. We are a thriving standalone academy and are proud we were recently recognised by Ofsted as prioritising ‘wider opportunities alongside achievement so that pupils “live life to the full.”’ (Ofsted 2023). Operating from recently refurbished facilities, our shared mission to improve the life chances of all of our students is at the very centre of our work. We also put the welfare of our staff at the heart of everything we do so that all our colleagues can enjoy the job they love doing.
