We are naturally delighted that OFSTED has recognised all the hard work and fantastic progress that has been made by the staff and students at St Charles. The whole community has worked incredibly hard throughout the last few years to drive significant quality improvements, in difficult national circumstances. I have been incredibly proud of both the staff and student response to the challenges that have been put in our way. The recent OFSTED report is both a validation of this journey, and a positive statement that the students at St Charles get a very good deal. These are exciting times for St Charles. We look forward to a new chapter of growth, success and continuous progress for all.
God bless.
Well done to all the students, staff and governors for this great achievement!
