The School Prom has become an important part of school life and is seen by many as an act of ‘moving on’. It is for this reason that parents swelled  the ranks of spectators last night outside Chilworth Manor Hotel. The arrival of students in Stretch Limos, Classic cars and even a Horse and carriage created the start to a wonderful evening. The year 11 have made a great impression on the College and ended their time with us in style. My thanks go to Mrs Thompson and  Mrs Gallagher for their work in organising and decorating the venue. To Mr Heron for the wonderful photographs you see here. Finally a big thank-you to all  the parents, teachers and friends who supported the students throughout their time at the College.

In the afternoon Years 5 and 6 met with the well-known author Josh Lacey and enjoyed his humour as he read extracts from his books and inspired the Charlton children to become budding writers. The children also had the privilege of meeting the Mayor of Southampton,  Mrs. Carol Curio.

Our congratulations to our youngsters who elected to be confirmed this scholastic year. Year Nine is the minimum age and all pupils were invited to approach their parish priests last September. Fr. Michael will remind the new Year Nine-and any others from Years Ten and Eleven-in the coming September.

The Year 8 Art Classes have just completed their 3D homework projects, I think it went their heads!
