About Charville Academy

Charville Academy is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 127 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.12. Of those, 64 families put it down as their first preference, and 59 of those were offered a spot — so if you really want a place, naming Charville first is the way to go. The school is rated Good by Ofsted across all categories in its most recent 2023 inspection, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership. That’s consistent with its previous Good rating from 2017, so there’s a solid track record here. With 452 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is clearly running at full stretch, which explains the competition for places. For parents, the high demand suggests a school that local families trust and want to be part of.
