At Charter, we are proud to be a vibrant and nurturing primary school, offering a warm and welcoming environment for all our families. As a one and a half form entry school with approximately 350 children on roll, we celebrate our close-knit community while embracing the rich diversity of our pupils and families.

Our school values, known as Roots To Success, are at the heart of everything we do. They ensure that we create a love of learning, build determination, and inspire every child to reach their full potential. We believe that by nurturing strong roots—values such as consideration, creativity, and pride—our children will grow into confident, compassionate, and successful individuals.

We look forward to welcoming you!

Our school provides a happy, safe and caring environment, in which each individual is respected and valued and their efforts and achievements celebrated.

Our challenging, stimulating, broad and balanced curriculum reflects the expectation that all children will maximise their potential – we grow confident learners.

We value our outdoor space which is beautiful and unexpected due to our city location.

Our Roots to Success were developed through joint work between our school council, our governors, all of our children and all of our staff. They represent the needs of our community as well as our ethos in school.

At Charter Academy we are:

• Ambitious because we strive to achieve our goals and dreams
• Proud because we build a culture of respect and encourage everyone at school to take pride in our school, in their own achievements and in the achievements of others.
• Creative because we develop our creative thinking and skills, particularly through the use of digital technology. Creative thinking includes analysis, open-mindedness, problem-solving – all skills required for life-long achievement.
• Curious because we create opportunities for children to experience the joy of discovery and the desire for exploration. Our children all know that asking questions is a positive part of the learning process and enables you to find out more.
• Determined because successful people have setbacks but they always find a way around it. Our children show resilience and determination through many different aspects of school life both indoors and outdoors which serves them well in life beyond school.
• Considerate because every member of our school community shows compassion and empathy to others. We are helpful, include others, and use words to lift others up rather than tearing them down
