Welcome to the webpage for our school. The school administration can be reached by phone or email if there is anything more you would want to know. We hope you will find all the information you require right here. When St. Clare's was placed in Special Measures following an Ofsted inspection in September 2012, the school experienced an extremely trying time. However, a lot has changed since then, and everyone associated with the institution has worked really hard. In order to give the kids in our care the finest educational opportunity possible, we have a tonne of assistance from parents, carers, and governors. The school received a Good rating from Ofsted in June 2015, its first inspection since becoming an academy in September 2013. We also scored well in our most recent Ofsted inspection, which took place in December 2018. The staff works incredibly hard. Any classroom you enter will have well-behaved students actively participating in the lesson. In a classroom with sufficient supplies, instruction will be engaging and creative. Along with receiving top-notch instruction in the classroom, the kids can participate in a variety of fun after-school, lunchtime, and morning clubs every day. We are quite proud of many of the advancements we have made in teaching and progress over the past few years. We are extremely happy of the kids' adaptability to the adjustments and their dedication to their work. The ambiance at the school is joyful, serene, and focused. Visit us to observe us in action.
