Bishop Westcott Boys' School was founded in 1927.Initially, the school was meant for Anglo Indian children, most of whose parents were either missionaries or in the Foreign Service. Later on other children of other communities were taken in and the school achieved a secular status. The school premises are situated on the lands of the villages of jorar and Namkum, which are in the outskirts of Ranchi. Namkum is a sleepy hollow approx. 6km east of Ranchi, on the banks of the famous Subarnarekha river. It has its own Railway station and is easily accessible by Road.
