Dr Challoner's High School, abbreviated to DCHS, is a grammar school for girls between the ages of 11 and 18, located in Buckinghamshire, England. In August 2011 the school became an Academy. In September 2001, the school was awarded specialist school status as a Sports College, by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES). It was also awarded a second specialism as a Language College. It is an affiliate member of the Girls' Schools Association. In 2011, Ofsted judged the school to be Outstanding and in 2014 DCHS achieved the Exceptional Schools Award.
История
Школа была основана в 1962 году как девичья, когда ранее смешанная гимназия доктора Челлонера стала школой только для мальчиков в связи с ростом числа учеников.
The school was established in 1962 as an all girls' school, when the previously mixed Dr Challoner's Grammar School became an all boys' school, due to increasing roll numbers.
Вход
Для поступления в школу ученикам из местных начальных школ предлагается сдать экзамен "11 плюс". Обычно для поступления в гимназию требуется набрать 121/141 балл, однако ученики, получившие менее 121 балла, могут подать апелляцию на решение приемной комиссии. Потенциальные ученики, не сдавшие экзамен "11 плюс" (например, поступающие в старших классах), также сдают собственный вступительный экзамен школы.
To gain entry to the school, pupils from primary schools in the local area are invited to do the 11 plus exam. Entry to a grammar school usually requires a score of 121/141, though pupils who gain scores of below 121 are invited to appeal their case. Prospective pupils who did not take the 11+ (e. g. those who join in later years) also take the school's own entry test.
Система домов
В школе действует система домов, в которой девочки распределяются по одному из шести домов в начале обучения вместе со своими одноклассниками. Шесть домов названы в честь выдающихся женщин в истории, и каждый имеет свой цвет: Бронте – синий, Кюри – зеленый, Найтингейл – фиолетовый, Панкхёрст – желтый, Тереза – красный, а Роза – оранжевый. Ежегодно шесть учениц выпускных классов назначаются старостами домов. Дома участвуют в музыкальной и спортивной жизни школы, девочки зарабатывают баллы за победы в соревнованиях и мероприятиях, особенно в междомовье – спортивном полудне, которое проводится раз в четверть для 7–11 классов. В конце каждого учебного года дом, набравший наибольшее количество баллов, выигрывает кубок дома.
The school operates a house system, with girls being placed in one of the six houses at the start of their time at the school along with the rest of their forms. The six houses are named after notable women in history and each have a corresponding colour: Bronte is blue, Curie is green, Nightingale is purple, Pankhurst is yellow, Teresa is red and Rosa is orange. Six girls in the upper sixth are appointed the head of houses each year. The houses play a part in music and sports in the school, with girls earning points for winning competitions and events, in particular interhouse, a sports half day competition occurring once a term for years 7–11. At the end of each academic year one house will win the house cup for having the most points. House Colour SignificanceBronteBlue Named after the three authors, the Brontë sisters, Charlotte, Anne and Emily CurieGreenNamed after Marie Curie, the physicist and chemist who won two Nobel PrizesNightingale PurpleNamed after the nurse, Florence Nightingale, who nursed during the Crimean War and left a great legacy to nursingPankhurstYellowNamed after Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters, Sylvia Pankhurst and Christabel Pankhurst, who were great figures in the British suffragette movement and the campaign to give women the vote Teresa RedNamed after Mother Teresa, the Catholic nun and humanitarian who won the Nobel Peace Prize RosaOrangeNamed after Rosa Parks, the American activist, a known pivotal person in the Montgomery bus boycott.

Первоначальные темы
Ученики знакомятся с широким спектром предметов, начиная с 7 класса, включая информатику, изобразительное искусство, музыку и драму. В первый год они изучают французский, немецкий и испанский языки. В 8-м и 9-м классах учащиеся изучают латынь, отказываясь при этом от одного из двух других языков, прежде чем продолжить изучение как минимум одного языка на уровне GCSE. Все учащиеся сдают не менее восьми предметов на GCSE, хотя большинство сдают 9 или 10. Большинство студентов выбирают три предмета на уровне A-level, но в случае определенных предметов (например, углубленная математика, музыка и т.п.) или выдающихся результатов на GCSE, им разрешается сдавать четыре. Подавляющее большинство учеников поступают в университет или продолжают образование на более высоком уровне.
Pupils are introduced to a wide range of subjects from Year 7, including Computer Science, Art, Music and Drama. Pupils study French, German and Spanish for the first year. In years 8 and 9 the students study Latin, in turn dropping one of their other two languages, before continuing on with at least one language at GCSE level. All pupils take at least eight subjects for GCSE, although most take 9 or 10 subjects. Three A levels are taken by most students but in the case of certain subjects (further maths, music etc. ), or outstanding achievement at GCSE, students may take four. The vast majority of pupils go on to university or some form of higher education.
Школьные здания
Башня: здесь преподают гуманитарные предметы, религиоведение, историю и географию, а также классические языки и латынь. Это здание входило в состав школы с момента её открытия в 1962 году. Корпус естественных наук: также был частью школы с момента открытия, здесь преподают три естественнонаучных предмета. Художественные мастерские раньше располагались на верхнем этаже, но были переоборудованы в новые научные лаборатории. Изогнутое здание: построено в начале 1980-х годов, расширено в 1992 и 1998 годах, здесь преподают английский язык, математику и изобразительное искусство. В этом здании также находится библиотека, комната отдыха старшеклассников и кабинет профориентации. Изогнутое пространство между Изогнутым зданием и Башней образует естественный склон, используемый как открытый амфитеатр. Корпус иностранных языков: известный как корпус ИЯ, здесь преподают французский, испанский и немецкий языки, хотя к нему примыкают музыкальные классы и репетиционные, а также одна физическая лаборатория. Спортивный зал: построен в 2002 году, здесь проводятся большинство уроков спорта в помещении. В здании есть раздевалки с душевыми. Школьные поля и теннисные, нетбольные корты и площадка с искусственным покрытием расположены рядом с этим зданием. Старый школьный спортзал и танцевально-театральная студия, построенные позднее, были снесены, чтобы освободить место для нового театрального комплекса, строительство которого завершилось около 2009 года благодаря пожертвованиям и средствам, собранным родителями. У главного входа в школу также расположены столовая и актовый зал, примыкающие к Башне и являющиеся частью оригинального здания школы 1962 года.
The Tower Block: Humanity subjects, Religious Studies, History and Geography are taught here, as well as Classics and Latin. This building was part of the school when it first opened in 1962. The Science Block: Also part of the school when it first opened, the three sciences are taught here. The art rooms were previously situated upstairs but have been renovated to become new science rooms. The Curved Building: Added in the early 1980s, extended in 1992 and again in 1998, English, Maths and Art are taught here. The library is also situated in this building, as is the Sixth Form Common Room and the Careers Room. The curved space between the Curved Building and the Tower Block creates a naturally sloped outdoor theatre area. The Modern Foreign Languages Building: Known as the MFL Block, French, Spanish and German are taught here, although the Music teaching and practice rooms and also one physics laboratory are attached to it. The Sports Hall: Completed in 2002, most indoor sports lessons are held here. There are changing rooms with showers available. The school fields and Tennis, Netball and astro turf courts are situated by this building. The school's original gym and a dance and drama studio, built more recently, were knocked down to make way for a new drama complex, completed around 2009 with the help of fundraising and donations from parents. There is also a canteen and Main Hall at the front of the school, attached to the Tower Block and part of the original school of 1962.
Заметные достижения
В 2014 году школа была удостоена награды Exceptional Schools Award от Best Practice Network, став лишь девятой школой в стране, получившей эту награду после тщательной проверки. В 2011 году DCHS была признана выдающейся школой по результатам инспекции OFSTED. В 2008 году гимназия доктора Чаллонера показала лучшие результаты сдачи экзаменов A Level среди всех государственных школ графства Бакингемшир, с процентом успешной сдачи на оценки A/B, равным 84%. Школа неоднократно попадала в рейтинги Times Parent Power: 31-я лучшая государственная школа в 2007 году, 16-я в 2008 году и 23-я в 2009 году, каждый раз оставаясь лучшей государственной школой в Бакингемшире. По результатам последней инспекции OFSTED в 2011 году школе была присвоена оценка "Выдающаяся" (Grade 1 – Outstanding). В 2010 году школа продемонстрировала выдающиеся результаты сдачи экзаменов A Level. 22,3% работ были оценены на A*, что является самым высоким показателем среди школ Бакингемшира. Более 88% работ получили оценки A* и B. В последние годы школа также была отмечена наградами Good Schools' Guide по истории, политологии и испанскому языку. Отделение политологии завоевало главный приз, показав лучшие результаты A Level среди всех школ Англии за период с 2004 по 2006 год. Помимо академических достижений, школа гордится своими спортивными успехами, недавно выиграв национальный титул среди команд до 16 лет по баскетболу, а теннисная команда стала серебряным призером в соревнованиях Nestle School Teams Tennis для игроков до 8 лет. В декабре 2008 года школа выиграла национальный чемпионат по кроссу среди юниоров, проходивший в Лестершире.
In 2014 the school was awarded Exceptional Schools Award by the Best Practice Network, only the ninth school in the whole country to receive the award after an extensive inspection. In 2011 DCHS was judged to be an Outstanding school by OFSTED. In 2008, Dr Challoner's High achieved the best A Level results of any Buckinghamshire state school with an A/B pass rate of 84%. At GCSE the A*/A grade pass rate was 81% and over a third of girls achieved all A*/As. The school has appeared in the Times Parent Power school league tables; 31st best state school in 2007, 16th in 2008 and 23rd in 2009, each time being the top state school in Buckinghamshire. Ofsted rated 'Grade 1 – Outstanding' in its last inspection of the school in 2011. In 2010 the school achieved another set of outstanding A Level results. 22.3% of entries were graded A*, a higher figure than any other Buckinghamshire school. Over 88% of entries were graded A* B. In recent years the school has also won Good Schools' Guide awards in History, Politics and Spanish. The Politics department won the top prize, achieving the best A Level results of any school in England for the period 2004–06. In addition to its academic success, the school has a proud reputation for sporting success, recently winning the national U16 basketball title and the tennis team were national runners up in the year 8 and under Nestle School Teams Tennis competition. In December 2008 the school won the national junior cross country championships held in Leicestershire.
Дебаты
В школе есть клуб дебатов, который участвует в соревнованиях Оксфорда и Кембриджа, а в последние годы также выступает на соревнованиях университетов UCL, Дарем и Бристоль. Международный конкурс молодых дебатеров (ICYD) является важной частью программы для начинающих дебатеров школы. В 2010 году школа также приняла участие в новом конкурсе в SOAS, и в последнее время несколько девушек проходили отбор в сборную Англии. В феврале 2008 года команда Challoner's выиграла региональный этап школьного конкурса Оксфордского союза. Результаты школы в Оксфордском конкурсе особенно впечатляющие: по крайней мере, одна команда выходит в финал почти каждый год. В 2008–09 учебном году школа также заняла 5-е место (из 48 команд) в старшем конкурсе UCL, а в финале Оксфордского конкурса в том же году вошла в первую пятнадцатку, что позволило двум дебатерам школы претендовать на отбор в сборную Англии осенью 2009 года. В сезоне 2009–10 лучшая пара школы выиграла турнир по дебатам в Школе востоковедения и африканских исследований (SOAS), заняв первое место среди 75 пар из лучших школ Англии. Эта пара также вышла в полуфинал школьного конкурса Университета Дарема, заняв 7-е место в общем зачете среди более чем 100 команд. В марте 2010 года та же пара заняла 6-е место (из 88 команд) в конкурсе Оксфордского союза, обойдя такие школы, как Dulwich College, University College School и Marlborough, и уступив лишь St Paul's School и Westminster School.
The school has a debating society which enters the Oxford and Cambridge competitions, with the UCL, Durham and Bristol university competitions also featuring in recent years. The International Competition for Young Debaters (ICYD) has been a mainstay for the school's younger debaters. In 2010 the school also entered a new competition at SOAS and in the recent past several girls have participated in trials for the England team. In February 2008 a Challoner's team won the regional round of the Oxford Union schools' competition. The school's record in the Oxford competition in particular is excellent; with at least 1 team breaking to finals day almost every year. In the 2008–09 academic year the school also came 5th (out of 48 teams) in the UCL senior competition and in the Oxford finals in the same year reached the top 15 to make two of the school's debaters eligible for England trials in the autumn term of 2009. In the 2009–10 season the school's top pair won the schools' debating tournament at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) coming top out of 75 pairs from some of the best debating schools in England. The pair also made it through to the semi final of the Durham University schools' competition finishing in 7th place overall from over 100 teams. In March 2010 the same pair achieved 6th place (out of 88 teams) in the Oxford Union competition overcoming schools such as Dulwich College, University College School and Marlborough, and just behind St Paul's boys and Westminster.
