History

The school was established by Lt. Col. Sydney T. Stock on 19 April 1864 to cater to the sons of warrant officers and non-commissioned officers of the British Indian Army. The school has since functioned as a Christian Anglo-Indian minority institution.[4] It is located in the Pune Cantonment. In addition to its day school, Bishop's has a boarding school. In the 2012 Education World India survey the school was ranked 1st in Pune, 12th in the state of Maharashtra, and 44th in India.[5]

The School Song

We sing our school song, with a voice loud and strong, We chant “Bishop’s” name with a will. It’s the School that we honour, the best school of all ! Let our chorus now re-echo to the hills.

The pure Deccan winds waft our theme to the world. We are proud of our past and today, May God bless our dear school and enkindle the flame In each spirit that within her works and plays.

The flowers all around speak of beauty serene, And as symbols of strength the hills stand, While the “Mulla” like progress flows on through the days, Nature’s lessons are before us to command

The years will press on, and the cares of the world, May make us forget for a while, But the thought of the School shall inspire us anew, Give us courage, greater strength and peace of mind.

When life’s work is done and the past echoes by, And we ponder on days left behind, We shall look back with pride on the School that we love, The Alma Mater that our memories enshrine.

And when at long last our life’s course we have run, May the world be aware of us then, That we honoured our School that taught us how to live, To be “THOROUGH”, to be true, and to be men.

Let the welkin resound with our loud clarion call, “Play up Bishop’s ! never let our Colours fall !” “Play up, Bishop’s ! never let our Colours fall !”.
