On behalf of the Governors, staff and children here at Clipstone Brook Lower School, we would like to welcome you and thank you for visiting our website. We pride ourselves on our warm and friendly atmosphere and hope that new parents and children will quickly feel part of our school family.
Our school is a community school and we aim to work closely together with all of our parents and carers, with the collective aim of ensuring that children in our school receive the best outcomes possible in their learning and personal development.
We have high expectations and it is important to us that the children are happy, confident, resilient and enjoy their learning; making the most of all the opportunities we have to offer. We hope that during their time with us your children will become confident, articulate, and independent.
We endeavour to work in partnership with parents to achieve the very best provision for every individual.
