Bishop Milner Catholic College (previously Bishop Milner Catholic School) is a Roman Catholic secondary school and sixth form with academy status, located in the Eve Hill area of Dudley, West Midlands, England. [1] Enrolment includes students who live beyond Dudley's borders, mostly in Sandwell. The college also has enrolled a number of non-Catholic pupils. [2] The school is named after Roman Catholic Bishop John Milner.
In the Autumn term of 2011 the reception area was extended and additional office space created above the reception on the first floor. In 2012 the sixth form area was updated to include a café area named "The Hub" along with the formation of enhanced study facilities. As a consequence and to create the Sixth Form study area, Drama/Performing Arts is now taught in the main building [3]
Bishop Milner converted voluntarily to academy status in September 2013 and took the name of Bishop Milner Catholic College. The Academy was formed in partnership with St Chad's Catholic Primary School, Sedgley and St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, Dudley. Together, the three schools are a Multi Academy Company (MAC) and have taken the name of St John Bosco Catholic Academy. [4]
Bishop Milner has links with local universities such as University of Birmingham, Newman University and University of Wolverhampton along with those that are further afield e.g. University of Oxford. The college also secured places on the Prime Minister's Global Fellowship programme. The college achieved its first student in the inaugural year of the programme, 2008, and in 2009 had 2 more successful applicants. [5]
