Welcome to St Charles Roman Catholic Primary School. It is an absolute pleasure to be the Head teacher of this wonderful school. Having lived in Rishton for most of my life and having previously attended St. Charles as a young pupil, I feel blessed to be given the opportunity to lead such a fantastic team at a school which hold so many personal memories. Everybody is working together to provide the best education possible for our children and as a result, we hope that they, and their parents, will enjoy many happy years in our school.


Our most recent OFSTED inspection in January 2020 noted:

St Charles is at the heart of its community. Relationships between staff, pupils and their families are caring and supportive. The pupils that I spoke to told me that teachers ‘make learning fun’. Pupils are happy. They enjoy learning new things. Pupils told me that they feel safe at school. The vast majority of parents and carers share this view. Pupils say that if they have any worries or concerns, they can turn to staff for support.

​

I am very proud of the happy atmosphere and excellent opportunities for children to enjoy their learning at St Charles'. You can only gain so much from reading through our prospectus and website. To really get a feel for what we offer as a school, please ring school (01254 886110) and arrange to come and have a look round. It’s one of the perks of my job showing off everything that we do!
