Bishop Ullathorne RC School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bishop Ullathorne RC School was established in Coventry in 1954. In 2006 it was awarded specialist status as a Humanities College. It is the only school in the UK named after William Bernard Ullathorne.
At its peak it consisted of three separate schools, a Boys Comprehensive, a Girls Comprehensive and a Grammar School for those children who passed the Eleven Plus. These later became a Lower School, Middle School and Upper School for pupils of different ages.
The Grammar School later became the home of the Coventry School For The Performing Arts before being sold to Bovis Homes who built a housing estate on the land.
The school currently has approximately 1100 pupils, and includes a sixth form college.
Bishop Ullathorne School achieved the highest SATS results for English in the whole of Coventry City (91%)
