On behalf of the staff, pupils and parents, I would like to welcome you to Charleston School. I hope that our partnership will be productive, enjoyable and that your child settles quickly with us.

The current school roll is around 320, which caters for pupils from Nursery right

through to Primary 7. We are very proud of our school and our local community. We take pride in the fact that those that attend, or visit the school feel a warmth of welcome and sense a real team spirit. Our learning environments offer flexible, challenging, and engaging experiences through which we strive to meet every learner's needs.

The school is at the heart of the Cove and hope that pupils that attend Charleston take a sense of pride from attending here and in turn contribute positively to the local context. Our school vision is to create a thriving community of skilled lifelong learners who are ambitious, resilient and respectful members of society.

We have been very well supported through our partnerships with local businesses, parents and local organisations. We hope you find opportunities to support the school in ways you find interesting, meaningful and appropriate; becoming involved in school life as much or as little as you can. We greatly appreciate and need this continued support. Working together will lead to your children developing the skills they need for learning, life and their future work. The school handbook explains what you can expect of the school and indicates what the school expects of you in the way of partnership, help and support.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch with any queries by phone or email. We look forward to working with you all over the coming years.
