Welcome to Charford First School

Our school has a very caring ethos with enthusiastic, hard-working, caring and committed staff. All members of our school community are an important part of our 'Charford Family' and bring to life our school motto which is...

"Where everyone is someone"

Our Charford Values are a fundamental part of our school. All of the children are taught about these values and what each one means. They underpin our ethos, our Positive Behaviour and Relationships Policy and our Charford Curriculum. 

Our Charford Values teach the children to be:

"Confident, Healthy, Aspirational, Resilient, Friendly, Original, Respectful, Determined"

We welcome you and your child to Charford First School and we look forward to a happy and successful partnership with you during your child's time with us.

"Pupils attend a happy, caring and inspiring school. Staff, parents, carers and pupils are proud to be part of a school that is at the heart of the community. Many describe this community as being a 'family'.

Leaders have high expectations for pupils and strive to make a positive difference in their lives. Children from a very young age begin an educational journey that fosters curiosity and inspires them to learn.

Pupils learn a set of values that are deeply meaningful to them. The school enshrines these values in everything it does. Pupils learn how to be kind, caring and unique individuals who look after each other. This helps them to feel like they belong and that they matter. Many are full of enthusiasm and are eager to be fully involved in school life. Staff harness this enthusiasm and teach all pupils that their contribution is welcome and appreciated " (Ofsted Report - April 2023)
