Richard Challoner is a Catholic boys’ school with Academy Status, within the Archdiocese of Southwark. The Governors intend to admit, in September 2025, 150 students without reference to ability or aptitude. The places will be offered according to the criteria set out in the school’s Admissions Policy, which should be referred to before making an application.

Application Procedure for Admission

Year 7 - September 2025

• All applications for places must be made on the Common Application Form (CAF) and returned to your Local Authority by 31st October 2024. Full details are available on your home Local Authority’s website.
• If you would like your application to be considered under one of the faith criteria, we recommend that our Supporting Documentation Form 2025-26 is completed and returned to the school together with any necessary evidence by 31st October 2024. If this information is not provided to the school, the Governors will not be able to apply their admission criteria and this is likely to affect the chance of your son being offered a place.

If you would like confirmation of receipt of your completed Supporting Documentation Form together with any evidence submitted, please ensure you request the same.  The receipt will be sent to you by email.
