• It is rare, and incredibly special, to set foot in a school where teachers are so proud of what they are achieving and pupils so pleased to be learning in a safe and joyful environment.
• Corridors were calm and orderly. Behaviour in classrooms was impeccable – amongst the best I have seen in any school, anywhere.
• “Hello sir/miss, how are you?” abounds everywhere. The impression you get is of a school in which respect is the number one priority.
• It is impossible not to be impressed by Charter, by the calmness, by the focus in lessons, by the happiness of the staff, but above all, by the incredible politeness of the pupils.
