EDUCATION
IN ASSOCIATION WITH

Sixth Form Success

“ We achieve excellent results at GCSE and A Level , representing a lot of hard work and dedication . Our motto challenges each and every student to dare to do their very best .” - Paula Anderson , Headteacher
Our Sixth Formers enjoy a recently refurbished common room allowing them to relax and study together . In addition , our Sixth Form facilities extend to St . Catherine ’ s cottage which has its own kitchen , computer suite and two teaching rooms . This allows the students some measure of independence and privilege but at the same time they remain an important part of the school .
Sixth Formers have opportunities for leadership roles including Head Pupil , Deputy Head Pupil , House Captains and Chaplaincy and Charity Prefect . The Sixth Form team work with the younger pupils to develop their student voice via Student Council .
We recognise that every pupil is special and play to their strengths and talents by offering a range of extra-curricular opportunities for a well-rounded education . This gives pupils the opportunity to try new things , explore and be creative
Crucially , our Sixth Form gives students the necessary skills to enable them to make welljudged choices in their life . We strive to ensure that all students achieve their potential in their academic studies in order to give them the best chance of progress to the next phase in their lives . Students are given every opportunity to develop their personal skills through a tailored enrichment programme , the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme and our own community programme . As young adults , they will establish a different relationship with their teachers and the expectations placed upon them will prepare them for higher education or employment . We encourage active involvement in school life and the wider community in order to nurture and develop the essential skills of teamwork and initiative .
“ Here at Bishop Challoner we pride ourselves on working tirelessly to deliver these core values . If students work hard at their studies we have every confidence of achieving success together .” Jon Bryson , Head of Sixth Form
