Bishop Challoner School, a Catholic independent school, will close at the end of the academic year due to financial challenges such as rising living costs and VAT hikes. This decision has caused distress among parents, especially those with children having special educational needs (SEND). Many parents are now seeking alternative schools and have started fundraising campaigns to maintain the school. The school is known for its significant SEND support, with over a third of students having such needs, raising concerns about their accommodation in other schools.
Some parents have now banded together and launched a fundraising campaign to raise the money needed to keep the school going.
Many Bishop Challoner parents have said they chose the school because of its SEND provision, with one describing it as second to none.
