(summary) contact school for full criteria1
If there are more applications than the number of places available, places will be offered according to the following order of priority:
1
Foundation places (120)
1. Catholic children ‘looked after’ by a local authority and Catholic children who have been adopted (or made subject to residence orders or special guardianship orders) immediately following having been looked after
2. baptised Catholics
3. children whose parents wish them to have a Catholic education who attend one of the Bishop Douglass Specialist Science College and Sports Partnership family of schools, i.e. St. Theresa’s RC Primary School, Our Lady of Lourdes RC Primary School, Holy Trinity C of E Primary School, Martin Community Primary School and Manorside Community Primary School

1
Community places (60)
1. children ‘looked after’ by a local authority and children who have been adopted (or made subject to residence orders or special guardianship orders) immediately following having been looked after 2. children who have a sibling attending
Bishop Douglass School 3. any other candidate
The attendance of a brother or sister at the school at the time of admission will increase the priority of an application
within each category. If the final place available at the school is offered to a twin, triplet or other child of multiple birth and the remaining sibling(s) would ordinarily be refused, the governing body will offer place(s) to the remaining sibling(s) even when admitting such a child(ren) would exceed the Published Admissions Number.
Facilities/Extra-curricular activities
We offer excellent facilities for all our students, including a state of the art science block, sports hall and fitness centre, dance hall, drama studio, music technology and art specialist rooms as well as over 500 computers just for student use. We continue to move forward at Bishop Douglass, through adopting and incorporating new practices such as e-learning in every classroom, as well as 24 hour access to the curriculum through a well-used Virtual Learning Environment. We have a comprehensive extra- curricular programme that enables growth and development beyond the classroom. Sport is a particular strength and is well facilitated with on- site pitches, a fully equipped fitness centre, and a multi court sports hall. Subsidised music lessons for all Year 7 and 8 provide the opportunity for students to acquire accredited grade qualifications. Residential opportunities are provided for all students from Year 7 to 10 as part of an annual activities week, whilst a comprehensive trips programme enriches the broad curriculum and supports learning at all levels
You and your child’s progress
We set rigorous targets at the start of each academic year. Classes are deliberately kept small allowing teachers to target and stretch each individual. Students are assessed five times during the year and progress against targets is monitored closely. This is shared with parents through target setting days, parent consultations and end of year reports
Curriculum and homework
Investment in your child’s future begins in Year 6 with a transition summer school and continues with a broad and balanced curriculum at Key Stages 3, 4 and 5. KS4 commences in Year 9 and enables students to study up to four Foundation Subject GCSEs over three years in addition to the Core subjects (English, Maths, Science, PE, RE & ICT).
We aim to develop a passion for education through personalised pathways that develop the individual. Our “Stage not Age” approach ensures that every child can succeed and provides stretch and challenge for students of all abilities.
Our PSHE programme allows students to develop important personal, social and intellectual skills in a safe and friendly environment.
Education after 16/
Sixth form curriculum
We have a thriving and oversubscribed Sixth Form that secures excellent outcomes for students. Our success over the last few years has meant that at A-Level we are in the top 5% of all schools nationally for value added. We offer 34 courses at Level 2 and Level 3 as well as providing GCSE mathematics and English. As a result our curriculum offers a broad range of subjects available to suit different types of learners of all abilities. Our retention from Year 11 into the Sixth Form is exceptional, with nearly all students choosing to stay on at Bishop Douglass. We also attract a large number of applications from external students - largely due to the success we have secured for students at post-16 level.
