Clare House is a school with high expectations and high standards. We have high expectations of the children, whether that is applying themselves to their learning in the classroom, having good manners with everyone they meet, or when taking part in one of the many opportunities outside the classroom. We value perseverance, hard work, and a positive attitude. We instill the qualities that will prepare our children for success here, at secondary school, and beyond. As a staff, we have high standards as well. We constantly ask ourselves, ‘would this be outstanding for my child?’ We strive to say ‘yes to this question in everything we do.
