This school owned by Infant Jesus Church, Kallettumkara. Previously this was the only school for the surrounding area like Muriyad, Parakattukara, Pulipara etc. for their primary education. Presently, the arrival of new generation English medium schools adversely affect the school as students drain which reduced its total number of divisions from twenty to less than five. Recently the school has started its own English medium section.
The BVMHS school was constructed by Church under the banner The Catholic Education Trust, formed by the church parish council on the land owned by Infant Jesus Church Kallettumkara.

The upcoming of English medium schools with high standards and the awareness of parents regarding the importance of English education which resulted severe division loss. The new management has taken some remedical measures like free transportation, financial package for students from lower income group etc. in order to attaract students for avoiding division loss. The management also started English premium in its compound. The management has succeeded in its efforts to a certain level, but it has to improve more. The infrastructure of the school has to improve a lot like good building; computer, chemistry, physics, biology labs; library with current publications, enough toilets and sanitation facilities, proper waste disposal system etc. This is not only can be achieved by the management but also with the help of Education Board of Kerala Govt., as government grants are very less. Contrary to the previous said, the students form BVMHS are serving in various fields of the society like Doctors, Engineers, Nurses, Accountants, Advocates, IT professionals and Skilled Technicians inside and outside India mainly in middle east.
