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.

Empowering girls to pursue ideals and knowledge unafraid Inspiring, enlightened, and intellectually rigorous — this is the education offered by Streatham & Clapham High School. Our pupils prosper in a vibrant setting that provides challenge and width of opportunity in a warmly supportive and enabling environment. They thrive on account of the school’s family ethos, which allows them to be known, valued, and nurtured as individuals. Equally, they draw strength and derive wisdom from the school’s rich social and cultural mix. Put simply, ours is an exceptional learning community. The pursuit of excellence is thus our defining feature. This is reflected in our examination results, which place us in the top 25% of independent schools nationally. But we nurture our pupils to attain success across the widest spectrum of activity, extending far beyond the conventional ‘academic’ horizon. In so doing, they learn the beauty of reason, the allure of the aesthetic, and the vitality of the physical. Our pupils, whether they are very able or late developers, learn to navigate the landscape of the human spirit and achieve beyond the realms of expectation. At the heart of our pupils’ success are our expert and alert pastoral systems. The care we extend to all pupils enables them to make outstanding progress, both academically and in their personal development. We strive to empower them to pursue ideas and knowledge unafraid. As a result, our pupils mature into confident, accomplished, and well-adjusted young women, prepared for the challenges of university education, their future careers, and everything else that their future lives may hold. We believe in inspiring all members of the school community to outperform expectations daily. Our pupils are nurtured to attain success across the widest spectrum of activity, extending far beyond the conventional ‘academic’ horizon. In so doing, they learn the beauty of reason, the allure of the aesthetic, and the vitality of the physical. Our girls—whether they lean to the sports or excel in the sciences, whether they are budding musicians or keen linguists—achieve beyond the realms of expectation, in the process becoming independent learners, confident in taking intellectual risks. We do not view outstanding pastoral care as an ‘add-on’ to our academic program. Neither do we believe that a ‘hothouse’ atmosphere is desirable or healthy. Girls achieve best if they are happy and settled in their social relationships. Hence the ‘family’ ethos of our school. How we nurture and value individuals are intrinsic to our girls’ success. This level of care and personal attention stimulates each of our pupils to make rapid progress. All members of staff, up to the Head Master, are easily accessible to pupils, providing for an environment in which pupils feel warmly supported and valued. We celebrate diversity and draw strength from the school’s rich social and cultural mix. The warm, vibrant, harmonious atmosphere at the school reflects the exciting diversity of the school population. In this uniquely dynamic environment, our pupils develop the values and attitudes that can make an enduring impact on the world around them, leaving the school attached to ideals and appreciating the joys of all that life has to offer.
