Partnerships across our community

In the context of huge challenges resulting from the pandemic for disadvantaged children and young people, Charterhouse will continue to focus on supporting the academic achievement, wellbeing, cultural capital and life and employability skills of pupils in our partner schools locally, nationally and internationally. This includes an ongoing commitment to making our facilities accessible to schools locally and through the use of technology, provide services to others in disadvantaged areas of the country.

We are continuing to work with our partner schools to recover the academic progress lost by many as a result of the pandemic. Our mentoring scheme of Charterhouse Sixth Form students for local Year 11 pupils continues to enthuse all the young people involved. We also continue our fully-funded GCSE Easter revision courses, providing 80 places to local students in April 2022 – ensuring access is prioritised for disadvantaged children and those most in need of additional support to secure good GCSE passes in English, Maths and Science.

During the last year our teaching staff have been able to provide expertise and support to a number of local primary and secondary schools in order to enrich and guide students’ understanding of core subjects. Oxbridge interview preparation has also been provided to Year 13 students at local schools.

Pupils have embraced their return to supporting extra-curricular activities in local primary and special schools. This includes sporting activities, reading, music tuition, coding and activities that connect children with nature and horticulture. The programme is increasingly popular, and these opportunities provide outlets for demonstrating leadership and inspiring others for our own pupils. Charterhouse pupils have also taken up the baton of responsibility by providing peer support and shadowing experiences to state school Year 11 pupils who are struggling with motivation.

Charterhouse has partnered throughout the year with Pond Meadow School, an outstanding special needs school in Guildford, to bring pupils together to create music performances, to assist in developing and improving their outside space and have welcomed them to the campus for a school visit.

Charterhouse was founded on the principles of service and generosity and these principles are represented today in our core value of Responsibility. The long-term sustainability of the School as a first-class institution depends on the wellbeing of all our people, and the wider community in which we reside, and we have a shared responsibility for looking after them.
