La Retraite Roman Catholic Girls’ School La Retraite is a Catholic school with a long history of offering excellent education to its students; it has been designated ‘Outstanding’ by OfSTED and regularly achieves very high examination results. Its Catholic mission is central to the school and it offers a Christian education, based in gospel values, to Catholic and Christian girls. La Retraite has been designated as an `outstanding' school by Ofsted. This reflects the high attainment levels reached by most of our students, who are ambitious and aspirational. Teaching and learning are at the heart of everything we do and we aim to make these experiences enjoyable as well as productive. We want every child to achieve the best of which she is capable. Curriculum La Retraite has a history in specialising in science. It provides a wide variety of courses and many of our students go on to study medicine, dentistry and nursing as well as many other careers. Numbers studying science in the sixth form are well above average. All national curriculum subjects are offered and the school offers a wide variety of options to ensure that all pupils can study courses appropriate to their needs and abilities. Extra-curricular activity The school makes very special provision in music. Instrumental tuition is on offer to all students who are also able to attend our Music School. We have an outstanding classical choir and gospel choir as well as several instrumental groups and a rock band. As well as this, the school provides a wealth of sporting activities, visits to professional and artistic venues, opportunities in public speaking and enterprise education and many artistic visits to theatres, concerts, museums and galleries. There are opportunities for residential and day `retreats' as part of the spiritual care we give to students. Many school visits and journeys are offered to support the curriculum, for instance to Belgium, to visit the WW1 battlefields and to France and Spain, to support language learning. Student care La Retraite is characterised by its calm learning atmosphere and its insistence on good manners and courtesy. Students are exceptionally well cared for by a team of professionals who know that a happy child will succeed and that a child who is achieving her best is likely to be happy in herself. An experienced team of learning mentors, English as an additional language teachers and teachers knowledgeable about special needs support students with widely varying needs. Sixth form We are very proud to be an 11–19 school and to offer continuous education to all our students until they are 18/19 years of age. See the Secondary Schools in Lambeth: Additional Information' booklet for details of our sixth form and for details of how to apply. Admissions policy Admissions to the school are made by the governing body. Parents must make application for admission to Year 7 by completing the Common Application Form (CAF) provided by the Local Education authority in which the applicant lives. Applications for places in other year groups can be made at any time. The governors will also require parents to complete a supplementary form and return this to the school by the same date. This form will be to establish Catholic practice and commitment. It will seek information not available on the Common Application Form relating to the evidence set out in section 1 below. It will require a reference from a parish priest or other minister of religion. Completion of a supplementary form is not mandatory. However, if one is not received, the governors will not be able to apply the admission criteria, and the application will be considered under the `other girls' category. In making their decisions the governors will take into account the information from the supplementary information form and the priest or minister's reference. Criteria for admission The governors wish to encourage applications from Catholic girls of all SECTION 2 / SCHOOLS 39
