Parents Evening Appointments
The school uses an online appointment booking system that is very easy to use. This allows you to choose your own appointment times with teachers and you will receive an email confirming your appointments.
We are able to offer a small number of video appointments for each Parents Evening. Because of the logistics of combining video and in-person appointments the video appointments will only be available between 4pm and 4.50pm. This will allow staff to be available for in-person appointments from 5pm to 7pm.
You can access the login page for appointments using this link, https://ccbcshropshire.schoolcloud.co.uk .

GCSE RESULTS 2022
The Community College Bishop’s Castle is once again celebrating another year of strong results. Against a national backdrop of grading returning to 2019 levels, the students and staff at The Community College have worked consistently hard to maintain progress and promote high expectations and aspirations for all of our students. Headline figures show that over 72% of students achieved a Grade 4 or above in English and Maths, in addition 35% of students achieved at least one Grade 7 or above.
Chemistry, French and Resistant Materials all saw strong attainment results, with fantastic progress seen in the results of Geography, History and Computing. Many individual students gained excellent results, with some standout performances from Chloe Lambart, Lilith Pearson, Isabel Jones, Matt Jones and Ben Prole who secured 39 Grade 7, 8 and 9s between them, as well as Elliot Wood who showed the most progress across their time at The Community College.
Dr Willoughby (Deputy Headteacher) said: “Results day has been a pleasure to be part of. We are very proud of all of our students. The persistence, hard work and effort put in by both students and staff has really paid off. The successes are well deserved and set our students up well for their next stage in life”.
