IN ASSOCIATION WITH
BISHOP CHALLONER
BISHOP CHALLONER IS A CATHOLIC CO-EDUCATIONAL INDEPENDENT SCHOOL OFFERING THE ENTIRE EDUCATIONAL JOURNEY FROM 3 TO 18 WITH EXCELLENT RETENTION FROM JUNIOR TO SENIOR SCHOOL .
The School was delighted to meet all the Compliance standards with no action points at its recent inspection by the Independent Schools Inspectorate . The Quality of Pupils ’ Academic and other Achievements has been graded as ‘ Good ’ and the Quality of the Pupils ’ Personal Development has been graded as ‘ Excellent ’.
“ Pupils ’ personal commitment to the school and the local community is very strong , they are beacons for the school in the community .” ( ISI 2016 )
In our positive learning environment , high standards and expectations are set at every level . Staff work closely with the pupils within one establishment , ensuring a successful transition between the different stages in their education . Pupils are able to be challenged , take risks and feel comfortable through consistent , well-planned teaching by staff who know them . We are able to track and monitor their progress and provide ongoing support to ensure each pupil reaches their full potential .
All through school , high quality relationships exist between staff and pupils embodying mutual respect , care , freedom to communicate and support in a school with a strong caring ethos . We encourage pupil interaction through collaborative activities across the stages and providing opportunity for sixth form students to take responsibility for younger children as role models . This enables them to relate well to others and allows them to observe patterns of behaviour to which they can aspire . Our excellent pastoral care and discipline allows the pupils to be nurtured enabling qualities of trust , empathy and resilience to develop .
Our well established Able Gifted and Talented programme spans both the junior and senior school accommodating a wider breadth of activities for the Gifted and Talented pupils . Whole school activities involve fundraising events and House activities from nursery through to sixth form .
Our seamless journey form nursery to sixth form is a special one and something that is unique to Bishop Challoner . Our family community is something you will experience when you visit us .
