About the School
Straddling a timeline of 157 years since 1865, Bishop Cotton Girls’ School has consistently educated millions of girl students, empowering them to evolve into women of substance. Every granite block in our sprawling campus has a story to tell of the vision of the founding fathers and the courage and commitment of a succession of women principals who over the decades pioneered gender equality and emancipation in these hallowed portals long before such concepts became part of the collective public consciousness. At Cottons, our rich legacy of all-round education inspires us to even greater heights of excellence, preparing the students from nursery through junior and high school for challenges that lie ahead. This school is not just a group of buildings that we have to administer; but a community of thousands of young bodies and minds that look to us as well as their teachers for guidance, wisdom and encouragement to go forth into the world. By the Grace of God, we shall continue to provide a learning environment that fires the imagination, inspires the intellect and kindles the glorious human spirit. Above all, we want this institution to be a happy place and moreover a haven of learning, sharing and caring to which every student, teacher and non teaching faculty is happy to come to, every morning.
