What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 May 2024
Pupils flourish at Charlton Kings Infants' School. The school's vision of 'the wings to fly, the confidence to try' is embodied by all. The learning environment is a hive of productivity. Pupils know precisely what is expected of them at school. They work hard in lessons and achieve highly. This is a school with true community spirit. Inclusivity is at the school's core. The school works effectively with parents to give every child the best chance. Pupils know the 'respect family' well, such as 'Sophie self-awareness' and 'Parveena passion'. This helps guide their behaviour both within and beyond the classroom. It is commonplace to hear pupils offering support to one another, for example offering to include others in their play. Careful thought is given to every element of school life. Pupils have decided on which clubs the school should run. Construction and choir are firm favourites. As a result, attendance at clubs is high. Pupils are encouraged to use their initiative. For example, pupils were deeply moved by the level of homelessness in the locality and decided to write to a charity to find out how they could offer support. As a result, they raised money by completing acts of kindness.
