At St. Charles School we want our children to become, global citizens who are proud of who they are, respectful towards others and know their responsibilities with their local and global communities. These British Values underpin everything we do within school. As a Catholic School, we seek to live out the values of Jesus Christ and promote these values through our teachings and actions.
