iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).For school information please visit Cropthorne with Charlton is a well-equipped school with four classes. We concentrate on the development of children's knowledge and skills and also offer exciting opportunities across the full range of school subjects. On a number of occasions during each year parents are invited to discuss their child's work with the class teacher.
In addition, we operate an 'open door' policy where you are welcome to discuss matters of concern at any time. Towards the end of the summer term all children receive a written report of progress throughout the year. While children are with us they are all encouraged to learn to play a musical instrument and specialist teachers come into school to work with the pupils.
All Key Stage 2 children are taught an instrument as part of the music curriculum. These include clarinet, recorder, violin, guitar and ukulele.
