St Charles Catholic Primary School, London

From the headteacher's welcome: "At the heart of St Charles is a clear commitment to Catholic values where every child really does matter. The education that the pupils receive here has the Gospel values at its core and as one child explained to Ofsted during a recent inspection, “Our school motto, Love God, Love your neighbour”, really works here."

The school runs a breakfast club and after-school care.
