It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Bishop David Brown School, a vibrant 11-16 learning community in the heart of Woking. I am proud to lead a school that is deeply committed to nurturing the potential of every student, both within and beyond the classroom. Our school is over-subscribed, which speaks to the strong reputation we have built within our community and the trust families place in us to provide an exceptional education.

At Bishop David Brown, we believe that learning is transformative—it opens doors, shapes futures, and inspires lifelong curiosity. Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to create a safe, supportive, and stimulating environment where students can thrive academically, socially, and personally.

Having been part of Unity Schools Trust for nearly two years, I have been continually struck by the family atmosphere that defines our school. Our community is built on mutual respect, shared ambition, and a commitment to ensuring every student feels valued and empowered to succeed.

A cornerstone of our approach is the extensive enrichment program we offer, designed to broaden horizons and nurture individual talents. From cooking and journalism to the Duke of Edinburgh Award, these varied activities provide students with opportunities to develop new skills, explore their passions, and grow in confidence. Through these experiences—whether in the classroom, on the sports field, or in leadership roles—we aim to inspire students to embrace challenges, celebrate their achievements, and contribute meaningfully to their communities.

I look forward to working with our students, families, and staff as we continue to grow as a school where every individual is inspired to learn and equipped to achieve their best.

Warm regards,

Mrs Minshull

Acting Principal
