September 1922 saw the opening of the County High School in Bishop’s Castle, which changed its name to The Community College Bishop’s Castle in 1992. To mark the 100 years of the secondary school in Bishop’s Castle activities are planned for September 2022.
To commence proceedings a ‘Gathering Celebration’ will be the first event.
This will take place on: Saturday 2nd July 2022 from 1pm to 5pm. 
The Headteacher and Governing Body would like to welcome all past and present staff and students to this event.
The college will be displaying photographs and memorabilia that is currently in possession, alongside other displays and activities including games and stalls.
The college would really like to receive any memorabilia relating to the school. Please bring along your photos, slides, certificates, etc. Help us identify your past colleagues and fellow students in photographs.
Come and have an interview with students recalling your time at the school.
On the day there will be a chance to participate in creating a tile wall to commemorate 100 years by decorating or signing and dating a tile.
We are also encouraging people bring items for a Time Capsule which will be buried in September. A suggestion list is below this write up.
In addition, we will be showcasing and judging current Students’ Centenary Photograph and Cake competitions will be judged and prizes awarded.
There will be live music, food and a bar to help celebrate our Centenary Gathering.

We look forward to seeing you!
From everybody currently at The Community College
