The Charlestown Team

The team here at Charlestown are beyond amazing. Their commitment to the children is inspring and exciting.

All the team are committed to working closely with parents and the community to enable all children to achieve their best. We will always be open, transparent and honest with you, but please remember, the team are human - they sometimes make mistakes and they have families and emotions too. We promise that you will always be listened to and you will always receive an apology if we make a mistake.

Welcome to an honest and refreshing environment of commitment and collaboration.

Please note: Parents should contact the Class Teacher as the first point of call, followed by the Phase Leader, before contacting the Head Teacher, Deputy Head Teacher or Assistant Head Teacher over individual concerns or issues. Due to large volumes of emails received, please only contact the Head Teacher directly if it is a whole school issue or you have already spoken to other members of the team.

Thank you.
