What This School Does Well
This school has a real focus on making sure every child feels safe and valued, with staff going the extra mile through activities like pupil well-being champions and pair reading between older and younger pupils. The curriculum is carefully planned so pupils build their knowledge step-by-step, particularly in reading and mathematics, with children in early years getting excellent support with sounds and language skills. Parents have noticed real improvements since the new leadership team arrived, who have also made sensible changes to reduce teacher workload.
Key Strengths
- Well-organized curriculum with content taught progressively so pupils build knowledge and skills steadily
- Strong emphasis on reading with consistent phonics training and older pupils reading with younger children
- Effective support for pupils with SEND, quickly identified and given targeted programs to access the full curriculum
- Clear behavior expectations consistently followed, with staff managing behavior effectively in lessons
- Strong mental health and well-being support, including pupil 'well-being champions' in Years 4-6
Areas for Improvement
- Teachers sometimes do not share information clearly in lessons, leaving pupils unclear about what they need to learn
- Staff occasionally do not check pupils' understanding carefully enough, meaning some pupils are not secure before moving to new content
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective with coordinated approaches to identifying pupils in need, clear reporting systems, and swift responses from leaders working closely with external agencies.
Extracurricular Activities
Educational outings including visits to Buckingham Palace, clubs, cultural experiences, sports captains roles, junior travel ambassadors, links with schools in Germany and Nepal
Charlton Manor Primary School is a good school where staff ensure pupils are safe and happy while maintaining high expectations for behavior and learning. The school has benefited from effective leadership that has improved systems and developed a well-structured curriculum.
