Headteacher's Message
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our school and invite you to take a visit through our website.
At St. Clement’s Catholic Primary School, you will find a warm, family atmosphere where children are at the heart of all decision-making.
Throughout the website, you will see that, as a school, we ensure that we give our children the opportunities to develop their knowledge, skills and understanding of the world in a supportive and caring environment. We pride ourselves on listening to the children's views and developing their ideas with them to build an inclusive and happy school.
Through our Mission Statement, our aim is to develop the wholeness of everyone, striving for excellence in all that we do. Our work is inspired and underpinned by Gospel values so that we can reflect God’s love in our everyday lives: Christ is at the centre of everything we do. Our actions reflect our belief that every child is a gift, created in the image of God. We recognise that each child is unique, with their own talents, which we endeavour to nurture and develop.
Our website gives you just a snapshot of what life is like at St. Clement’s. Please come along and see for yourselves our wonderful children and staff at work.
Please feel free to contact me here at St. Clement’s and I would be delighted to discuss our wonderful school further.
