FRENCH EXCHANGE
The exchange between the
Ensemble Scolaire Saint François de Sales in Alençon and Bishop Challoner Catholic Secondary School in Basingstoke began in 1978. For more than thirty years our students and staff have travelled to France to stay for a few days with a French family, discovering more about French culture and food and above all taking the opportunity to use what they have learnt during their French lessons in school. The exchange is very popular and students have always been happy to meet up with their French penpals every year. Students see the French exchange as an exciting opportunity which offers them international friendship and good fun.
CASHLESS ONLINE PAYMENT SYSTEM
We have installed the
Tucasi internet payment system which allows parents to make payments to school via the internet. Initially this method of payment will apply to
day trips only but we anticipate extending it to include Building Fund and other payments in due course. A brief
user guide is available. If you have any queries, please contact the school at
finance@bishopchalloner.hants.sch.uk
Bishop Challoner School serves the Catholic Community of Basingstoke and beyond. We seek to be a “Christ centred” community and readily accept the challenge of service to God and service to others. I am very proud of our students and staff and the incredible things they achieve every day. We are inspired by our Patron, Bishop Richard Challoner and his call for us to “do ordinary things extraordinarily well”.
I hope you find this website useful and interesting. Please
contact the school if you require any further help or information.
