The Bishop of Hereford's Bluecoat School (BHBS) is a mixed comprehensive secondary school in the Tupsley district of Hereford, England. It is a voluntary aided school, which takes children from the age of 11 through to the age of 16. It is a Church of England school and is administered by the Hereford Diocese. The current headteacher is Sara Catlow-Hawkins, who succeeded Andrew Marson in September 2007. Marson had led the school for 21 years.
The school is divided into four houses which are named after Christian campaigners. The houses are Ashley, Cheshire, Livingstone and Shaftesbury.
The school was formed in 1973, which was the year that Herefordshire switched from the tripartite system to a comprehensive education system. The new comprehensive school was formed by the merger of two Church of England secondary modern schools; the Bishop’s School, founded in 1958, and the Bluecoat foundation, which dated back to 1710. In 1983 BHBS joined the Woodard Corporation group of Church of England schools.
In September 1997 the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) awarded the school specialist school status as a Technology College. The school was also awarded a further specialism in Languages and was among the first schools to receive training school status in 2000.
