Bishop Challoner Roman Catholic Voluntary Aided Secondary School is a school in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England, founded in 1975.
Students come mainly from three Catholic primary schools: St Annes, (Basingstoke), St Bedes (Basingstoke) and St John the Baptist (Andover) though other students are enrolled as well.
In recent years the school has begun redevelopment of many of the facilities including the construction of a new library and a radio station.They have also now constructed a new sports hall.
Religious Emphasis
Each house/tutor has their own classroom/Tutor room which, in the morning and end of day registration is held for each tutor. It is also true that the school keeps the no meat on Friday rule.
Unlike many nearby schools, Bishop Challoner has religious education as a core GCSE subject.
