We hope you all have a lovely half term break and look forward to seeing you all again on Monday 23rd February. : Time to celebrate! , by Mrs Ronald Welcome to the Charles Darwin Community Primary School website! A very warm welcome to Charles Darwin Community Primary School.
At Charles Darwin Primary School, every member of our community shares a common aim: that our children become confident, independent, resilient, secure and caring individuals who achieve personal success and develop a love of learning.
By understanding what our children already know, we inspire learning through excellent teaching and a passion for bringing a rich and varied curriculum to life and ensuring that our children are exceptionally well prepared for the next stage of their education.
There is a wealth of information Here you will find but a visit to the school gives you the opportunity to see our school in action. I encourage you to make an appointment to come and see the Charles Darwin Way for yourself.
