Vision Statement
Building Knowledge. Developing Character. Inspiring Futures.
Intent: Our vision is to nurture happy, healthy young people who have the knowledge, academic achievement, and strength of character to lead safe and successful lives in modern Britain. We have high expectations for all learners which prepare them for their next steps in education or employment and help them develop a thirst for lifelong learning.
Implementation: Our vision is built around three core values: Respect, Responsibility and Resilience. We expect all members of the Charlton community to always exhibit these values. Underpinning our vision and values are our shared character virtues:
Gratitude: feeling and expressing thanks.
Compassion: exhibiting care and concern for others.
Humility: estimating oneself within reasonable limits.
Justice: acting with fairness towards others by honouring rights and responsibilities.
Courage: acting with bravery in fearful situations.
Integrity: having strong moral principles and standing up for what you believe in.
Honesty: being truthful and sincere.
Charlton actively promotes the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.
