Welcome to the Bishop Ullathorne Website!

Bishop Ullathorne Catholic School & Humanities College is a voluntary aided Catholic school, situated in a very pleasant residential area, about three miles south of the centre of Coventry, adjacent to the Coventry & Kenilworth Road (A429). Following a very successful Ofsted Inspection (February 08), we are now planning our next stage of development as an outstanding school.

Being an inclusive school, where all feel loved and valued, is central to our Christian educational mission. We strive towards human fulfillment and excellence by fostering the development of our true self, both as individuals and as a community. The increased opportunity to explore what it is to be a human, through our humanities status, enhances our capacity to make good our mission.

We are a truly comprehensive school that serves a very wide area of Coventry, including the most advantaged and disadvantaged wards in the city. Our 990 pupils are drawn mainly from six parishes and partner primary schools. 90% of all pupils rely on the school buses and, consequently, our pupils are a very heterogeneous community; whose needs, aspirations and life experiences reflect the diversity of the city we serve.

From September 2006, our School became a specialist Humanities college, with a plan to provide an enriched humanities curriculum that acts as a springboard for whole school improvement. Being a humanities college is not only of great benefit to our three lead subjects (English, Geography and History), but also the entire school and all subject areas.
