About

Charlesworth School has been an important part of the local community for many years. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive, safe and family orientated school that promotes the distinctive values that underpin our Christian ethos and are firmly rooted in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.

We seek to help all our children and their families to develop a strong sense of belonging and identity through hospitality, compassion and support in order to develop to their full God-given potential. Originally two schools, we joined together as a voluntary controlled school in the late 1990's that operates on two sites a short walk apart from each other.

The Infant building is on Long Lane and the Junior building is on Town Lane (dating back to 1850 and 1823 respectively). Both buildings stand in delightful grounds that provide fantastic outdoor learning areas where children can explore themselves and the environment around them.

We feel that it is essential for parents and teachers to know each other well and to work in close partnership. We encourage parents to become active members of our little community and hopefully become part of our very active Friends of Charlesworth School group.
