Ambition Confidence Success
Caroline Chisholm is an oversubscribed, academically successful all-through school that strives to develop young people into ambitious, highly successful, happy and resilient young adults. We make learning enjoyable from reception year right up to the sixth form. We provide a challenging academic curriculum, coupled with a very supportive pastoral system that values the strengths and talents of the individual student.

Year 2 and Year 4 Collaboration: Sharing Memoirs Our Year 2 and Year 4 classes came together for two special collaborative sessions to share the memoirs they had each written. It was a wonderful opportunity for the children to showcase their writing, celebrate their hard work, and learn from one another. Taking turns, the pupils read their memoirs practising their reading and speaking skills while building confidence in their delivery. It was heartwarming to see how attentively the children listened to each other, offering encouragement, and showing appreciation for the stories shared.
We are very excited to open our doors once again to current and prospective parents and students to enjoy an evening to explore our fantastic facilities, meet many of our excellent members of staff and hear from our existing Sixth Form students and learn about their experience with us. To give you as much flexibility and time as you need, the evening will be a combination of presentations and free flow to allow you to explore our facilities and talk to staff and students at your leisure.
