Charlton School is a coeducational secondary school located in Telford, Shropshire, England.

In May 2024 the school was graded “good” by Ofsted.

Charlton School works in partnership with Dothill Primary School, forming the 'Dothill and Charlton Sports and Learning Community'. Both schools until July 2015 were under the principalship of Mr N Renshaw with each school supported by a Head of Secondary and Head of Primary Phase. However, as of September 2015 both schools have their own leadership.

Charlton school is now run by the Learning Community Trust.

In September 2025, Sarah Barton was appointed as the new principal, following the departure of Andrew McNaughton who had been the head for nine years.
