The school is a specialist Performing Arts College and was the first Worcestershire school to take Specialist Performing Arts status in 2002.
The school takes its name from two former Bishops of Worcester, John Perowne (Bishop of Worcester 1891–1901), and his son Arthur Perowne (Bishop of Worcester 1931–1941).
An Ofsted inspection in May 2012 judged the school to be Grade 2, a rating of Good. Lead inspector Michael Miller said: "The proportion of students achieving, and currently on track to achieve, five or more higher grade GCSE passes, including English and Mathematics, is above average. Opportunities for performance through the school's specialist status benefit students well and boost their confidence."
