Bishop Challoner Catholic School is a Roman Catholic comprehensive secondary school and sixth form, located in the Shadwell area of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, England.[1]
The school is a voluntary aided co-educational school and sixth form. The school is administered by Tower Hamlets London Borough Council and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Westminster.[2] In 2016, around 50% of the intake was Roman Catholic. Whilst the pupil profile at Bishop Challoner is diverse, Bangladeshi children are very significantly under-represented in comparison to Tower Hamlets as a whole and the schools receive few applications from Bangladeshi parents. Nevertheless, in 1992, local parents unsuccessfully challenged the admission policy to Bishop Challoner RC Girls' School in the House of Lords (R v Governors of the Bishop Challoner Roman Catholic Comprehensive Girls' School ex parte Choudhury and Purkayastha).[3] Tower Hamlets Borough’s high levels of child poverty are evident in the high proportion of children entitled to free school meals which in 2011 stood at 57%.[4]
