We are a thriving, two-form entry primary school located in Wantage, Oxfordshire.

All the staff at Charlton strive to give each child the best start for them to be confident, happy and successful lifelong learners, preparing them for the next stage in their school life. The planning and teaching of our curriculum reflects our ethos and school values.

Teachers and Teaching Assistants are dedicated in supporting children to master the foundations of reading, writing and mathematics, as well as ensuring that our broad and exciting curriculum enables everyone the opportunity to find their passion and develop their talents.  We aim to achieve excellence through enjoyment!

Those who work at Charlton are enthusiastic, passionate and nurturing, and they recognise the importance of the role they play in each child’s life; inspiring them to be the best that they can be. The school is also committed to developing the practice of their staff, to ensure they can have the greatest impact on the children we care for.

We are very lucky to have an extensive and beautiful outdoor space, and the use and development of this is supported by all stakeholders.  It provides valuable opportunities to develop a healthy, active lifestyle and for children to learn how to care for our environment and its importance.

Everything we do at Charlton is centred around our values - Be happy, Be kind and Be responsible. This helps to develop a nurturing, positive and friendly environment for all.

We are very proud of our school and we hope that this site will give you some information about all the wonderful work we do.

We welcome visits to the school, so if you would like to find out more about us, please contact our school office to make an appointment convenient to you, and we will be delighted to give you a comprehensive tour.
