About

We are blessed with the full support of our Church and community. As a Church of England school, our Christian Foundation is the base on which we build our whole school community life.

We expect everyone to love their neighbour as Jesus loves us. ​ We are very fortunate to have an excellent team of people working at Charlton Mackrell School and Preschool, who each bring a wealth of different experiences from a wide range of backgrounds. This means that the children benefit from a lovely balance of interests and expertise.

Our teachers bring passion and enthusiasm to their teaching and always endeavour to bring out the best in their class, carefully tailoring their teaching to the needs and learning styles of each child. ​ As we are small, we know the children well and share pastoral care.

However, to support those children experiencing difficulties emotionally and socially, we have employed Miss Elizabeth Hookins, as our ELSA (emotional learning support assistant). Miss Hookins attends regular training sessions to ensure she is well-equipped to help those children who need a little more support from time-to-time. "The one who gets wisdom loves life."

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
