ESTYN INSPECTION REPORT 2022
Strong emphasis on pupil well-being
In November 2022 we were delighted to receive our Estyn Inspection report.
Estyn’s focus on outcomes, provision and leadership in the report shows the consistently high standards worked to at St Clare’s School.
"Pupils develop a positive sense of well-being and mutual respect for one another throughout the school. This is evident, for example, in pupils joining from other schools who find that they settle quickly into school life and make new friends."
"St Clare’s is a welcoming school community that places a strong emphasis on pupil well-being. Pupils are happy to come to school and have positive working relationships with staff. There are positive and worthwhile professional relationships with parents."
"Together the school family shares the headteacher’s clear vision to develop each individual to achieve their best. Leaders have established a robust, caring culture of safeguarding."
"In all parts of the school the curriculum is enhanced by a range of beneficial co-curricular clubs and activities. These strengthen and extend the learning experience of pupils, developing their sporting, problem-solving and creative skills."
