The Bewdley School is a foundation secondary school and sixth form in Bewdley, serving north-west Worcestershire, England. Its campus is very close to the River Severn and lies on the border of the Wyre Forest national nature reserve.

The Bewdley School is an educational research partner of the University of Worcester and University of Birmingham.[3].

History

The Bewdley School has its origins in The Bewdley Grammar School on Lax Lane, which closed in the 1800s. Since then, the former grammar school is now home to many art galleries and art and craft activities. After the closure of Bewdley Grammar School, Bewdley County Secondary School was built on the opposite side of the river in 1956 with new buildings. In 1972, the area adopted a three-tier system, and the school became Bewdley High School.[4] When the area returned to a two-tier system in 2007, the High School was amalgamated with the two local middle schools to form The Bewdley School as a new secondary school, following extensive building work and landscaping, with new facilities for the arts, science, humanities and outdoor learning. [5]

Present day

Ofsted

The school was fully inspected by OFSTED in 2012, where it was found to be 'Good with Outstanding features'.[6] In January 2016, OFSTED reconfirmed during a short inspection under their new framework that The Bewdley School remains to be 'Good', following on from the longer section five report. [7][8]

Bewdley Sixth Form

Bewdley Sixth Form is also part of The Bewdley School, offering GCSE, BTECH and A-Level courses.[9] The sixth form is growing yearly, and in 2018 was the largest Sixth Form in the Wyre Forest District. [10]. Bewdley Sixth Form is consistently high performing at A-Level, with students often gaining places at top Russel Group UK universities.[11]

Partnerships

The Bewdley School is partnered with the University of Worcester for teacher training and further educational research. The University of Birmingham's School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences works closely with The Bewdley School through their ongoing Ecompass project.[12][13] In September 2009, The Bewdley School gained Specialist Art college status via accreditation from Arts Council England. This specialism was later awarded the Arts Mark Gold Award for excellent practice amongst the department.[14]

Results

In 2018, The Bewdley School had above average scores of 47.1 for attainment 8, and 4.34 for the EBacc average. 98% of Bewdley students remained in education or entered employment.[15] At A Level, 18 of the 21 subjects achieved 100% pass rates.[16]

House System

The Bewdley School has three distinct student houses, each made up of two tutor groups each. The houses were named after historical connections to the town of Bewdley.

{{color box|yellow}} Baldwin - Named after Stanley Baldwin, three times Prime Minister. Stanley Baldwin, as Member of Parliament for Bewdley, is the only British premier to have served under three monarchs (George V, Edward VIII, and George VI).{{color box|Blue }} Ribbesford - Named after Ribbesford House. The estate dates from the 11th century (Anglo-Saxon Charter). In 1074 the estate was presented to Ralph de Mortimer in recognition of his services to William of Normandy. It remained in the Mortimer family for many centuries.{{color box|White}} Severn - Named after the River Severn. The river is about 220 miles long and is considered to be the longest in the United Kingdom. It rises from the Welsh mountains to the Atlantic Ocean at Bristol and it has historically been a route for trade and central to the growth of Bewdley as a market town over the last 500 years. [17]
