In our school, we have the highest expectations for each one of our children. We provide a broad and inspiring curriculum for our children whilst working hard to ensure that each child is nurtured to be ambitious, resilient, resourceful, curious, and creative.

They will leave our school having gained all the important skills and knowledge that will help them become successful in their future life.

We welcome all children from all backgrounds and traditions who wish to learn in an atmosphere of respect and appreciation. We are a community where learning is celebrated and where both individual and collective achievement is valued.

We currently have 24 different languages spoken in our school, we value and embrace the many different languages spoken in our school and create opportunities whenever possible for children to share aspects of their language and culture with other children in our school.

Our visions and values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning and provide an environment that prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens.

Celebration of our Faith - To nurture each child’s relationship with God through learning, prayer, and celebration, encouraging a Catholic way of living. Recognize and Respect different Faiths and Beliefs. We invite all of our children to pray and to say their prayers respectfully and quietly. We are all praying for the same reasons.

Relationships - To ensure that our children experience positive relationships in school which will influence their understanding of everyday life.

Individual Support - To provide appropriate support for our children, their families, and members of staff. To ensure that our school is a safe community in which the emotional and physical well-being of our children is safeguarded.

At St Clare’s we aim to provide our pupils with a curriculum, which: develops the best possible progress and the highest attainment in the core and foundation subjects, for all of our pupils, is broad and balanced, and has a clear progression of skills and knowledge, is focused on deep learning, and challenges our pupils to apply their new skills, knowledge, and understanding creatively and thoughtfully to different problems and Contexts, promotes our pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development and, in particular, the differences between right and wrong, and promotes an understanding of citizens’ rights and responsibilities.

We want everyone in our school to be responsible and caring citizens who make positive contributions to communities ensures our pupils feel successful in their learning and develops their self-esteem has an understanding of the needs of future citizens, in a changing world makes learning more meaningful by putting it into context, relating it to our locality, to Britain and the wider world.

By The Department for Education, we aim to actively promote British values in schools to ensure young people leave school prepared for life in modern Britain. Pupils are encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races, and cultures with respect and tolerance and understand that while different people may hold different views about what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, all people living in England are subject to its law. The Key Values are:

• Democracy
• Rule of law
• Individual liberty
• Mutual respect
• Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs

To fulfill our aims and objectives, St.Clare's will follow the Come and See program of Religious Education, recommended by the Archdiocese of Liverpool as our scheme of work.

Come and See is an innovative and engaging program of study which is an invitation to exploration and the promise of life for everyone.

Come and See offers the opportunity to search, explore, discover, and respond allowing our pupils to reflect on what it is to be human and living in our world.

Come and See raises questions and provides the materials for children to reflect upon their own experiences raising questions of meaning and purpose which will enable children to think critically about themselves.

Come and See explores the beliefs, values, and way of life of the Catholic traditions, and other faith traditions, developing good attitudes and dispositions so that our children are instilled with a ‘love of learning,’ creating a desire to go on learning.

Children will be offered a sense of self-worth through the experience of belonging to the caring community of St.Clare's learning to develop a 'love of each other' which allows their individual 'lights to shine.
