King Charles Primary School

A Warm Welcome from Marie Taylor

It is a great privilege and pleasure to welcome you to King Charles Church of England Primary School.

Our school is a very special place where Christian values inspire all that we do and where our vision of "Where Everyone Shines" comes to life each day. We are incredibly proud that we were recognised as ‘Excellent’ in our Church (SIAMS) inspection in February 2020, reflecting our strong Christian ethos, caring relationships and commitment to helping every child flourish.

At King Charles, we are passionate about making a positive difference to every child, every family and every member of our wider community. We believe that every child is unique, valued and full of potential, and we are committed to helping each one flourish academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually.

We want every child to look back on their primary school years with happiness and fond memories. Childhood is precious, and we believe that children's time at school should be filled with joy, friendship, achievement and opportunities to discover their talents. Alongside high-quality teaching and learning, we provide rich experiences that inspire curiosity, develop character and create memories that last a lifetime.

Relationships are at the heart of our school. We know that when schools and families work together, children thrive. We place great importance on building strong partnerships with parents, carers, staff, governors, our Trust and the wider community so that together we can provide the very best opportunities for every child.

As you explore our website, you will discover our core values of Friendship, Creativity, Aspiration, Teamwork and Achievement, which shape our daily life and learning. These values help us nurture confident, compassionate and resilient young people who are well prepared for the next stage of their education and for life beyond the school gates.

Friendship is evident in the positive and respectful relationships that underpin our school community. Creativity runs throughout our curriculum and encourages children to think imaginatively and express themselves confidently. Aspiration inspires us all to aim high and achieve our very best. Teamwork is central to everything we do, enabling pupils, staff, families and partners to work together towards shared goals. Achievement is celebrated in all its forms, recognising the success, effort and growth of every individual.

Our values sit alongside Kernow Learning's shared philosophy to Work Hard, Be Honest and Help Others, creating a culture where kindness, ambition, respect and collaboration are celebrated. We have high expectations for all and are committed to ensuring that every member of our school community has the opportunity to flourish and shine.

Whether you are a prospective parent, a current family, a member of our local community or simply visiting our website, I hope you gain a sense of the warmth, ambition and sense of belonging that make King Charles such a special place.

We would be delighted to welcome you into our school and to share with you all that makes King Charles unique. If you would like to arrange a visit or have any questions, please contact our friendly office team on 01326 313607 or email kingcharles@kernowlearning.co.uk.

I look forward to welcoming you to our King Charles family.
