I am very proud to be the Headteacher at Clarendon Academy. At Clarendon Academy, our vision is to prepare our young people for their world in their time, so that they can embark on their journey beyond school with the necessary knowledge, skills and confidence to succeed in their chosen pathway.
As a school, we are very proud of our three core values, which are woven through everything that we do: Respect : being kind and caring for ourselves and others Determination : working hard and never giving up Excellence : ensuring everything we do is our best work As a close-knit secondary school, we cultivate a family feel and sense of belonging among our students, and believe that nurture is essential for academic, personal and social success.
We are an inclusive community, which welcomes and celebrates students of all backgrounds and starting points, and which promotes diversity and fairness.
