Learning at the heart of all we do
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.
Partnership with our local primary schools focuses on building on primary experiences and strengths, to ensure a continuous learning journey for all. Our students leave us having attained high standards, whilst emphasising their personal development.
Partnership with our families and the wider community is really important to us, so that care, guidance and support systems are good and ensure that students who join the school at any stage are well supported.
Charltons Vision
Our aim is to provide an environment in which all students can succeed.
To do this we will:
Ensure that every member of our school community knows that we are committed to their care and support
Encourage independence of thought and respect for each persons uniqueness and needs in the development of their talents
Encourage each member of the school to show respect for each other, our community and understand and develop their role as an active responsible citizen
Ensure that students have a wide range of extending and enriching opportunities
Ensure positive working conditions in which clearly stated standards of behaviour and courtesy are upheld
Provide a clean, bright, safe and stimulating learning environment
Celebrate and encourage success at all levels
We are tremendously proud of our new school building. It provides first rate facilities, purpose-built for the 21st century. Our new build school opened in June 2016 and was the last school in the country to be completed under the Building Schools for the Future scheme. The transition from the old school to new was seamless, both staff and students settled quickly in to their new surroundings.
The school is due to join the Learning Communities Trust as an academy. 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.
Additional investment in state-of-the-art ICT, Sports, Expressive Arts, Science and Technology, have been a great boost to students already rich curriculum of Foreign Languages, Humanities, English and Maths. We firmly believe that the new facilities will further strengthen our already high performance across the school.
The curriculum is organised into nine curriculum areas with colleagues working collaboratively to support the complete learning experience. We currently implement a two-year KS3 programme, followed by a three-year KS4 where students make their option choices at the end of Year 8 in most areas.
Within curriculum areas, our teams consider the views of learners using student self-evaluation as part of their assessment procedures. This gives learners the opportunity for reflection and to improve good practice. Students are encouraged to share their views and opinions and play a key role in shaping the future of our school. Students take tremendous pride in what they do and have a sense of loyalty with good relationships with staff.
As a school we have a wide range of extra-curricular activities supported through our partnership work with many outside agencies. This, linked with our work to promote community cohesion, provides our young people with every opportunity to meet their potential.
The school performed in line with National expectations in regard to attainment outcomes in the summer 2017 exams:
The percentage of students who achieved Standard Basics, a Level 4 pass in English (either Language or Literature) and Mathematics was 61%
The percentage of students who achieved Strong Basics, a Level 5 pass in English (either Language or Literature) and Mathematics was 42%
The percentage of students who achieved a 4 or C grade in all Ebaac subjects (English, Maths, Sciences, History or Geography and a Modern Foreign language) was 28%
High pass levels seen in a number of options subjects, including Drama, PE, Art, Textiles and Geography.
Students are guided via a strong pastoral system, with experienced staff who support our effective learning environment. All students have form tutors who serve as academic mentors to track progress. Pastoral Managers offer further support and where required access external agencies and family support.
We aim to keep learning at the heart of all we do, recognising the strengths of collaboration and sharing best practice. We are a true learning school where every individual has the opportunity to develop, maximising their full potential.
We look forward to welcoming you into our school community.
Mr Andrew McNaughton
Principal
THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT
Aims of the Department
To equip students with literacy skills for their lives beyond school.
To develop an appreciation of and enthusiasm for a wide range of literature.
To provide a range of contexts in which students can apply their knowledge of language when reading, writing and speaking.
To ensure that our students achieve the best possible outcomes in public examinations.
To adapt our provision for the range of learning needs.
The Department
The English Department is successful in its delivery of both English Language and Literature, taught by an experienced and dedicated team of subject specialists. Staff nurture positive relationships and have high expectations of their students. The Department has ten suited classrooms, each of which is equipped with the latest Clevertouch Plus smartboards. We are lucky to have a wealth of reading resources and regular access to a well-stocked library; wider reading is supported through the Accelerated Reader programme and DEAR sessions. We offer a range of enrichment opportunities, including: Shakespeare Schools Festival, Youth Speaks and the Magistrates Association Mock Trial.
The Curriculum
In Year 7, students are placed in two half years and are set for challenge or support according to their ability using KS2 results and internal assessment. The remaining pupils are then divided into mixed ability groups. This structure is followed flexibly in all years, with careful monitoring of progress used to inform decision-making about students movement between sets.
Students complete Key Stage 3 in two years. Units of work are constantly updated and adapted to ensure that curriculum delivery is relevant and appropriate whilst assessment is fully embedded across the Key Stage.
KS4 students follow GCSE English Language (AQA Specification 8700) and Literature (AQA Specification 8702). All students are entered for both English Language and English Literature at the end of Year 11.

Salary: MPS
Location: Charlton School
Contract type: FULL-TIME
Charlton is a popular 11-16 co-operative school. We were very excited to move into our new school building in June 2016. We believe in progress through partnership with learning at the heart of all we do. We are a school who have a caring and disciplined environment, combining a degree of formality with good relationships between adults and students
Wellington is a busy market town, rapidly improving facilities and new housing being built nearby the school. From its central position, Wellington is easily reached by 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!
To support us with our future development and our desire to rapidly be classified by Ofsted as a good school again, we will shortly convert to an academy within a select MAT. We believe this will be ideal for us, as we have similar vision and values. We will work in partnership towards a shared vision that places students learning, environments and local communities at the centre of our approach.
We are offering an exciting opportunity for a teacher to join our successful English department, supporting the further development of an innovative curriculum for all, with purposeful, contextual learning and high expectations for students forming a major part of our passion for learning.
As a member of our team you will focus on ensuring the progress of every child by developing their English skills, knowledge and understanding within an exciting and relevant curriculum.
Our English department has an excellent team spirit where collaboration, cooperation and the sharing of best practice are key, as is hard work within a supportive team. Learning is at the heart of all they do and they aim to provide students with outstanding opportunities, especially since we moved into our brand new, purpose-built school in 2016.
We are looking for a teacher who is enthusiastic about their subject, someone who can inspire the children in their care to be passionate about this core subject and all this can offer them.
The position will ideally start Easter 2018, however we will also consider applications for a September 2018 start. Our school is an equal opportunity employer, so we are committed to the safeguarding and protection of children and individuals. This post is subject to a DBS Enhanced Disclosure.
We welcome applications from NQTs
