At Clapham Manor Primary School Our values are founded on the belief that every person in our school community has the right to enjoy happiness, freedom, safety, security, and a sense of their worth, because we are all different, but equal. Everyone has a right to be treated with respect and understanding and we do not tolerate any form of prejudice. We hope your child will be sensitive towards the needs of others and grow into a thinking and responsible young person who can contribute to and benefit from the diverse society which makes up our school.
We ensure that all pupils, regardless of race, class, gender, disabilities, special needs, religion, or culture, have equal access to a broad, balanced, and differentiated curriculum and are provided with opportunities to develop their self-esteem, confidence, and full potential in a rich and stimulating environment.
Parents and carers are the child’s first teachers and Clapham Manor encourages you to participate fully in your child’s education. Close working relationships between parents, teachers, and children ensure the best possible opportunities for achievement, progress, and success.
The school is going through an exciting program of initiatives. Our wilderness garden and other natural-world learning experiences are being used by all pupils and teachers as an embedded part of our curriculum. We are developing our gardens into beds to grow fruit, vegetables, and herbs to be used in cooking lessons and school lunches. Any surplus will be part of the upper school pupils' enterprise and commerce activities by being sold at Venn Street Market. Our most recent building activity has been to create a science laboratory centered around food. This laboratory combines all the resources of a food technology room with the ability to do exciting food science projects and learning.
We aim to provide the highest standards of education, in an inclusive environment, through effective learning and teaching for all, with a broad, balanced and personalized, relevant curriculum that includes all statutory requirements. We value equity and inclusion and believe that in supporting all learners to become confident individuals able to live safe, healthy, and fulfilling lives they will become lifelong learners and responsible citizens who make a positive contribution to society that deals effectively with economic, social, and cultural change.
