An introduction to Charnock Hall Primary Academy
Charnock first opened in 1949. Since then it has undergone many changes to get to its current form of a primary school for children aged 4 to 11 years, Reception (Foundation Stage 2) to Year 6, with a capacity for 420 pupils (60 in each year group).
In 2017, Charnock became part of the L.E.A.D. Academy Trust . In January 2020, CHPA received its first Ofsted inspection since joining the Trust, and we were judged as being GOOD in all areas of the inspection criteria.
As soon as pupils enter CHPA in Reception, we work with pupils to develop them in becoming effective, life-long learners and aim to do this through offering learning experiences that are relevant, fun and allow them to be involved in their own learning as fully as possible. We talk with pupils regularly about ‘learning how to learn’ and giving them opportunities to take their learning in the direction that they wish to go. They are fully involved in shaping and directing the curriculum as this is a key feature of how pupils learn at CHPA
