Charles Darwin School

Charles Darwin is a school where students thrive both academically and socially. We believe in making the most of every ability and talent, we do this by offering a broad and balanced curriculum with a strong emphasis on the vital, core subjects of English, Maths, Science and the Humanities. Our focus is on achievement and all pupils are encouraged to do their best and fulfil their own special potential. Examination success is very important to us but we also value other achievements. Participation in extra-curricular activities such as our highly quality school productions, successes in the workplace and ensuring positive contributions to community activities reflect some of the many dimensions of learning that are highly valued at Charles Darwin. By working in partnership with parents, our well qualified, highly skilled and committed staff aim to secure a successful future for all students based on a foundation of good examination performance and high levels of social responsibility. Our students tell us that they take pleasure in coming to school - a place where they are challenged by the work, where the staff and fellow students support them and where achievement is part of their everyday experience. I look forward to seeing the continued progress in academic results, combined with the truly impressive achievements in Art, Drama, Performance Arts, Music and Sport (and many other areas) and ensuring no child is left behind or forgotten. I hope that something of Charles Darwin School's vitality will reach you from this website.
