The police have been informed. We would like to remind students and encourage parents and carers to reiterate this message, that it is not only illegal to trespass on the rail track, but also extremely dangerous. Even if trains are not currently running, there is the risk of electrocution, burns and serious falls. In the 12-month period March '24 -April '25 22 people, many of them youngsters, tragically lost their lives accidently, whilst trespassing on UK railways. Please stay safe and keep off the tracks! ![](https://bishopchalloner.bham.sch.uk/images/LETTERHEAD_IMAGES/WholeSchoolLetterhead2024_-_Bottom_v2.jpg) [ Year 8 Assessments](https://bishopchalloner.bham.sch.uk/news/2025-12-16-year-8-assessments) [Ofsted Parent/Carer Survey ](https://bishopchalloner.bham.sch.uk/news/2026-01-05-ofsted-parent-carer-survey) ### Year 7-11 - [A Warm Welcome](https://bishopchalloner.bham.sch.uk/a-warm-welcome) - [Admissions & Appeals](https://bishopchalloner.bham.sch.uk/information-about-our-school/admissions) - [Curriculum](https://bishopchalloner.bham.sch.uk/about/curriculum) - [SEND](https://bishopchalloner.bham.sch.uk/send) - [Free School Meals](https://bishopchalloner.bham.sch.uk/about/free-school-meals) - [Library](https://bishopchalloner.bham.sch.uk/library) - [Netbook Programme](https://bishopchalloner.bham.sch.uk/about/netbook-programme) - [Instrumental Lessons](https://bishopchalloner.bham.sch.uk/about/instrumental-lessons) - [Extra-Curricular](https://bishopchalloner.bham.sch.uk/extra-curricular-life) - [Examination Information](https://bishopchalloner.bham.sch.uk/examinations-information) - [Careers](https://bishopchalloner.bham.sch.uk/about/careers) - [Uniform](https://bishopchalloner.bham.sch.uk/about/uniform) - [Latest News](https://bishopchalloner.bham.sch.uk/news) - [Login](https://bishopchalloner.bham.sch.uk/catholic-college/login) - [Year 9 Pathways](https://bishopchalloner.bham.sch.uk/about/careers/year-9-pathways) - [Parent Information](https://bishopchalloner.bham.sch.uk/parent-information) ![Bishop Challoner Catholic College](https://files.schudio.com/bishop-challoner-catholic-college/images/logo/logo(6).png) ### Bishop Challoner Catholic College Institute Road Kings Heath Birmingham B14 7EG 0121 444 4161 0121 441 1552 ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552167475288) - [X](https://x.com/BishopChalloner) - [Youtube](http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeZYD3XtsauCowKyzMKMfuQ) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/bishop-challoner-catholic-college) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/bishopchallonercatholiccollege/#) © Copyright 2017–2026 Bishop Challoner Catholic College School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://bishopchalloner.bham.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
