The Bishop David Brown School

The Bishop David Brown School is a mixed academy status secondary school located in Sheerwater, (Woking), Surrey, England. History Formerly the Sheerwater Secondary School, in 1982 Sheerwater merged with the Queen Elizabeth II School and changed its name to the Bishop David Brown School, named in honour of David Brown, the Church of England Bishop of Guildford from 1973–82. The school name is commonly abbreviated to BDB. Previously a community school administered by Surrey County Council, in October 2015 the Bishop David Brown School was converted to academy status and is currently designated with a specialist Performing Arts status. The school is now part of the Unity Schools Trust, but continues to coordinate with Surrey County Council for admissions. Newspapers and documents dating from 1958 include the Bishop David Brown School (under its original name as "Sheerwater County Secondary School") for its summer fete. There are also accounts from previous students dating back to 1954.
