Education in Bromyard can be traced back to 1394 when a chantry school was founded.

In 1976, Sixth Form education was concentrated at Hereford Sixth Form College and this school became a comprehensive school catering for pupils aged 11 to 16.

Since 2007, the college has progressed notably, producing high GCSE results.

A school inspection in 2011 found that "Teachers, support staff and governors all share a strong sense of moral purpose that their students deserve the best possible education, and this leads to the current culture of continuous improvement and 96% of parents surveyed stated that they were happy with their child's experience of this school" [2] On 1 December 2011, the school officially gained academy status.

A former pupil of the school was Robin Chater, Secretary-General of the Federation of International Employers
