Students come mainly from three Catholic primary schools: St Annes, (Basingstoke), St Bedes (Basingstoke) and St John the Baptist (Andover) though other students are enrolled as well.[3]

In recent years the school has begun redevelopment of many of the facilities including the construction of a new library and a radio station. They have also now constructed a new sports hall, as well as a new building, the Pope Francis Wing.[4]

Religious Emphasis

Each house/tutor has their own classroom/Tutor room which, in the morning registration is held for each tutor.[5]

Unlike many nearby schools, Bishop Challoner has religious education as a core GCSE subject.[6]
