BHBS SPORTS DAY 2026

Well done to everyone for taking part in an incredibly hot sports day yesterday, and to all the staff who helped make this such a wonderful event.

The winners, retaining the cup for another year are Ashley!

We wish all students a lovely summer and look forward to welcoming everyone back on Thursday 3rd September.

As the academic year draws to a close, we say a fond farewell to our Year 11 students.

A few weeks ago we held a fantastic, fun filled leavers celebration day for them. The day involved a church service followed by a DJ providing music with football matches, pizza, ice creams, slushies and shirt signing.

In early July the students attended their prom at Hereford racecourse.

We wish Year X all the best for the future.

Students and staff taking part in the French Enrichment trip earlier this week, had a wonderful time.

The students were fantastic - polite, co-operative and were a credit to themselves and the school.

Congratulations to ex BHBS student Poppy on this fantastic achievement!

🌟 Double Distinction Success for Poppy Tobin!

Congratulations to Poppy, who has successfully completed her Business Administrator Level 3 Apprenticeship with a Distinction, having previously achieved a Distinction in her Level 2 Customer Service Apprenticeship.

Poppy joined HWGTA straight from The Bishop of Hereford's Bluecoat School (BHBS). Keen to gain practical experience alongside recognised qualifications, Poppy embraced the apprenticeship route from the outset and has continued to develop her skills and knowledge throughout her journey.

Having successfully completed both apprenticeships, Poppy is now working as a Client Development Administrator at allpay limited, where she continues to build a successful career within the business.

Tracey Rogers, HWGTA Senior Learning & Development Specialist, said: "Poppy has shown a real desire to learn and develop throughout her apprenticeship journey. It was clear from the beginning that she wanted a hands on approach to learning and she has embraced every opportunity. Achieving Distinctions in both her apprenticeships is a fantastic accomplishment, and we wish her every success in her future career."

A huge thank you to allpay limited for their continued commitment to apprenticeships and for providing fantastic opportunities for young people to develop rewarding careers within the business.
