Newbottle and Charlton CEVA Primary School is a Church of England Voluntary Aided school. We are a primary school covering Reception to Year 6 (ages 4-11) and currently have 108 children on roll. The school is funded through the local authority and as a church school we belong to the Peterborough Diocese.
The school is situated in the heart of a thriving rural village on the Northamptonshire border, just south of Brackley. The school serves the villages of Charlton and Aynho predominately but children who join our school come from a number of other local villages and towns. I am privileged to be the Headteacher of such a caring and happy school.
Our children have a thirst for knowledge and a love of learning and all the staff work in a supportive, family way to ensure children achieve their very best. We aim to make every day enjoyable, rewarding and memorable. Thank you for taking the time to visit our school website.
Our website will give you a flavour of the work we do and a window into the world of our pupils Please do contact us if you require further information.
