Important Dates in September at CPA
Dear Parents and Carers,
We look forward to welcoming our students back to school on Friday 4th September 2026. Please note that Wednesday 2nd and Thursday 3rd September are INSET days for staff only.
We are also delighted to welcome our new students joining us in September. We hope they are excited to begin their journey with us and become part of the friendly and supportive Charlton Park Academy community.
We have an exciting year ahead, with learning pathways tailored to meet the individual needs, strengths and interests of every student. We are committed to providing meaningful opportunities for all our young people to thrive, develop their independence and prepare for adulthood.
There will be lots of exciting activities and opportunities for our students throughout the school year.
We also look forward to welcoming parents and carers to our regular activities, including craft group, choir, coffee mornings and yoga.
Please see below for more information and details of how you can get involved.
