Welcome to our school website, which I hope will give you an insight into the life and educational opportunities on offer at Claines CE Primary. At Claines, our pupils begin a learning journey that will continue throughout their lives.
In an ever changing world, we aim to equip all children with the skills, knowledge and understanding they will need for their futures and instill a love of learning that will always grow inside them. Christian values underpin all that we do and consequently there is a very caring and respectful ethos ever present in our school.
We believe that if something is worth doing, then its worth doing well. We therefore aim to provide the best possible education for your child, by delivering a broad and enriched curriculum that is tailored for all. We are a busy and vibrant school with high expectations and aspirations for all.
We also place great value on establishing a genuine partnership between home and school. Shared goals, encouragement and support, from both home and school, lay a firm foundation for our pupils learning and well being.
