Values and Vision
At Claremont, we believe that every child should have the best possible start to their education and through this, should be given a wide range of opportunities and the chance to develop skills to fulfil their potential. Claremont is committed to providing a challenging and stimulating environment where children are understood as individuals with individual needs. Our aim is to support all children to be confident, be curious and be creative.
Our school values are:
- Autumn 1: Determination with self-belief
- Autumn 2: Respect and kindness
- Spring: Joy in wellbeing
- Summer: Imagination through curiosity
British values are implicit in whole school practice:
- Democracy: school council, digital leaders, sports leaders, green team; an understanding of how citizens can influence decision-making; children actively take part in voting processes in those pupil-led groups and also things like Claremont's Got Talent.
- Rule of law: as shown in the school’s code of conduct and the positive behaviour policy; marking and feedback give clear guidance to expectations and self-improvement.
- Individual liberty: all children know they have a voice; assemblies, such as Anti-bullying Week; online safety, choice of after school clubs; some choices at lunchtime (eg. Maslow’s Corners, The Haven, self-service salad bar and dessert).
- Mutual respect for and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs and for those without faith: our whole school ethos, values and pillars; the curriculum characteristics; Using KCC RE scheme of work which provides varied opportunity to explore, learn and discuss cultures, and faiths within the context of England and the world; extra-curricular- EAL celebrations from our community; displays; new school values and school assemblies, wellbeing ambassadors, buddies, sporting events.
Our vision is to provide: A hub of educational excellence and innovation, supporting and valuing everyone.
