Values and vision
The school is proud of its academic success but places greater emphasis of creating the safe, nurturing environment that builds the self-confidence of the children and makes this possible. Pupils are taught that they matter and that they each have talents to celebrate, opinions to express and potential to explore.
Schemes such as a “buddy” system, which see each new girl and boy paired up with one of the pupils from the top of the school, plays an important role in creating a supportive environment. Charterhouse Square School aims to provide a welcoming, open atmosphere so that pupils, parents and teachers all come together to form a strong supportive community.
