At St. Peters & Clifton, our approach to education is one of devoted partnership between teachers, staff, parents, students, and governors.
In order for them to learn how to deal with new situations and embrace the difficulties that life has to offer, we want our children to be content, to have a strong sense of self-worth, and to grow in confidence in their own skills.
Learning how to relate to others and start seeing things from their perspective, learning to share, be tolerant, and care for others, being honest, reliable, and showing concern for one another and their property, as well as learning to value other cultures and other people's rights to their beliefs, are all benefits of attending school.
We want our kids to love going to school and to gain the perseverance, curiosity, and excitement they need to succeed in their future academic endeavours.
We view kids as unique people with varying needs and abilities.
All youngsters are to be encouraged and supported in order for them to reach their greatest potential.
We strive to provide children with a solid foundation in fundamental skills, foster in them a lively interest and curiosity about the world in which they live, expose them to a broad curriculum that includes the creative arts and physical activities, and help them develop a lifelong love of learning.
However, nothing compares to coming to see us in person to experience our unique atmosphere and meet our fantastic students.
