A SCHOOL WITH A CARING, ACADEMIC ETHOS TO HELP DEVELOP STUDENTS’ CHARACTER
THROUGH THE CORE VALUES OF AMBITION, COMMITMENT, CREATIVITY AND INTEGRITY
King Charles I School is part of The Four Stones Multi Academy Trust (MAT).
We believe it is an inspiring place to study and work. We are proud of our caring, academic ethos and how we develop students’ character through our core values of ambition, commitment, creativity and integrity.
The achievement of our students is paramount, but we also know all our students as individuals.
We are ambitious for every student, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs.

We take great pride in developing strong relationships between students, staff and families, in order that we can ensure that success is desirable, demanded and achievable.
Our core aim is to help students achieve their best and so access university or a high-quality alternative.
We complement our academic curriculum with an extensive enrichment programme – ‘The Character Academy.’
From after-school sports activities and fixtures to a variety of House events, revision clubs and international trips, we endeavour to cater for all interests and experiences.
We operate with a warm but firm approach to discipline ensuring our students develop the habits that will be necessary to be successful independent adults. Our students are a credit to us, and we are very proud of the example they set both in school and in the wider community.
OFSTED recently stated that ‘Students behave well in lessons and at social times and they take a positive approach to their studies. Staff resolve any bullying incidents quickly and students know who to turn to, and they feel safe.’ (March 2023) At King Charles I School the caring culture enables students to do their best.
We expect our students to: Work hard and do their schoolwork to the best of their ability. Get involved in all that the school has to offer both in and out of the classroom. Attend school punctually, every day and in full school uniform; and Show respect and courtesy to those around them and to our school.
We look forward to welcoming you to experience what we have to offer during our open evening.
