Headteacher's Welcome

Welcome to The Charter School website.
We are one of the most successful inclusive schools in London.
This year 90% of pupils achieved at least 5 A*- C grades at GCSE. This means we have improved GCSE results for 6 years in a row. Students have achieved 66% 5A* - C including English and Maths (the DfE’s only recognised measure for League Tables). Our school very significantly out performs National Standards.
100% of our gifted and talented cohort (20 pupils, an equal number of girls and boys) achieved 8 or more A or A* grades with many achieving 10 or more. These were all in academic GCSE subjects.
25% of all pupils achieved an A or an A* in Mathematics. 100% of pupils taking Biology, Physics and Chemistry got at least a B grade. Outstanding A* – C subject results include100% in Art, 96% in Statistics, 94% in Drama, 90% in ICT Core and 89% in History and Music. The Creative and Media Diploma had exceptional results for a new subject nationally. 98% of all young people at the school got 5A*- G including English and Maths.
This is a remarkable achievement for our inclusive school. The wide range of additional support and intervention that we have offered pupils in all examination years has had a dramatic impact on individual pupil’s attainment at all levels of ability.
Our 6th form students achieved very well. Students in the 6th form have continued to have success gaining places at Russell Group Universities to study subjects including maths, chemistry and history. 97% of this year’s cohort are going to the university, art or music college of their choice. This year 15% of our Year 13s are applying to Oxford, Cambridge or a medical school.
Throughout the year we look forward to meeting as many of you as possible at the Achievement Evenings for each year group and our programme of Information Evenings which cover a range of topics, from our new rewards policy to studying for examinations.
Our very active PTA group, The Friends of The Charter School, also organises a number of social fundraising events during the year – so do come along or join as they are always looking for extra input and help.
I hope you will explore this site as it will give you a flavour of the vibrancy, energy and commitment that threads through every aspect of school life at The Charter School.
