  • School will close at 12:30pm to all students on Thursday 18th December 2025 and re-opens at 8:40am on Monday 5th January 2026.

Arrangements in the event of extreme weather conditions:

In the case of a possible school closure and such decision, affecting Birmingham schools a decision will be made by 6:45am, at the latest.

All weather warnings can be found on:

  • The school website, www.bishopchalloner.org.uk
  • Recorded phone message which can be accessed outside of school hours
  • Text message to all parents

Unless there is a general Birmingham School closure announcement on the radio, school should be regarded as open.

We wish you Peace and Joy for Christmas and the New Year from the Governors and Staff at Bishop Challoner Catholic College.
