What the school offers its staff

Charlton is an 11-16 comprehensive school, well established in the heart of its local community. We are a truly comprehensive school, admitting children from over 20 primary schools, with students’ prior attainment at KS2 broadly in line with National Average, with a slight bias towards higher ability range.

At Charlton we take pride in students’ progress, with learning at the heart of all we do. We know the importance of inspiring students to develop a thirst for learning, so our curriculum is broad, rich and matched to individuals’ needs.

Our emphasis on purposeful, relevant learning means that our students benefit from a range of visits, specialist teaching and extensive extra-curricular experiences. We aim for all our students to enjoy school, excel in their studies and attain outstanding outcomes.

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, preparing them for their next steps in education or employment with a thirst for lifelong learning.

The school joined the Learning Communities Trust as an academy in December 2018. This is a multi-academy trust set up to serve the needs of the students in the Wellington and Hadley areas of Telford. This is an exciting development for the school, and we are already seeing the benefits of collaborating with other schools.

Following a recent Ofsted inspection (May 2023), the school has been judged to be good overall and good in all the separate judgement areas. We are delighted with the outcome, and that the dedication and hard work of our students and staff has been rightly recognised.

Commitment to safeguarding

The appointment will be subject to enhanced DBS clearance (including a check on the children’s barred list for those working in regulated activity) for the successful applicant. We are committed to Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. We follow the Safer Recruitment practices as set out in the Statutory Guidance - Keeping Children Safe in Education. We are also committed to Equality and Diversity. Sorry but CV’s will not be accepted.

We are a member of the Learning Community Trust (LCT), a multi-academy trust that serves the education needs of students in primary, secondary and special schools in Telford and Shropshire. We work in partnership with the LCT towards a shared vision that places students’ learning, environments, and local communities at the centre of our approach. Wellington is a busy market town, with excellent facilities in the local community and new housing being built nearby the school. From its central position, Wellington is easily reached by road or rail and has a large train station in the town. It is close to Shrewsbury and the famous Ironbridge, which is an area of local beauty and historical interest and one of the best in Shropshire! 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, preparing them for their next steps in education or employment with a thirst for lifelong learning. 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.
