Welcome to Charles Warren Academy. Our school is part of Lift Schools and we are wholly committed to ensuring the highest standard of education and provision for our children.

We provide an inclusive education for children from 4 to 11 years in our school with extensive grounds. We offer mainstream and a special provision for children in EYFS to the end of KS1. Our school is situated in the beautiful area of Simpson, surrounded by trees and bordering the canal. We cater for children aged 4-11 years old and we have high expectations for all with an inclusive outlook.

We aspire for Charles Warren to be an inspirational and exciting place to learn where children can achieve their very best. Our children are enthusiastic, hardworking and want to succeed. Standards continue to rise and the staff work tirelessly to achieve our shared vision and aims. Our children are at the heart of every decision we make to ensure that they are happy, confident and that the opportunities provided for them are relevant to their needs both now and in the future.

Looking ahead, I am passionate about ensuring that our children’s experience of primary school is full of wonderful memories capturing individual and collective achievements, sharing exciting experiences, and working towards an aspirational future.

It’s impossible to overstate the difference that a good teacher can make in a child’s life. You will be the person to set pupils on the road to success. You will be the person to see a struggling pupil’s eyes light up when they realise for the first time that, yes, they really can do this.

With a good teacher, a child whose family has always been wary of school can discover the joy of learning. With a good teacher, a child battling low self-esteem can begin to recognise their own potential.

Every single adult in a school has the potential to transform lives for the better. That’s why talented people are our lifeblood. We could not do what we do without you. Our ambition to give every one of our pupils the best possible start in life means nothing without the teachers and teaching assistants in our classrooms, and the senior leaders and admin teams in the school office. We attract dynamic people, and we give our team members the space to reimagine what’s possible. That’s why your career is as important to us as it is to you. We want you to develop, we want you to grow, and we want you to feel valued.

We believe every child deserves the best education possible, regardless of background, geography or ability. We want to see them fulfil their potential - at school and beyond.

• We will provide an excellent education to every child, in every classroom, every day.
