Each year group contains 2 classes, both containing up to 30 pupils. Classes are all single year groups, there are no mixed age classes.
CHPA received its most recent Ofsted visit in January 2020, achieving a Good rating in all areas. Since that inspection, CHPA has continued to go from strength-to-strength with data in all key areas (EYFS, Y1-PSC, Y2 SATs, Y4-MTC & Y6 SATs) all being consistently above national averages. In addition to this, the CHPA curriculum is wide and ensures that pupils are provided with an education that is knowledge, skills and experiences rich.
We aspire for CHPA to be an outstanding hub of the community, where highly skilled staff nurture, develop and inspire a happy, inclusive learning environment, so all pupils are equipped with the academic and social skills for their current and future life long journey, to be the best they can be. CHPA is built on 3 core Values and we want pupils to be Big Thinkers!, Big Hearted! & Big Dreamers! in order for them to be the best they can be!
