Ethos & Values

"Refreshed learning that changes lives."

patience kindness celebrating each other’s successes humility showing honour to each other (and not judging each other) sharing and looking out for others self-control forgiving others telling the truth

Our Christian ethos places love at the centre of all that we do, as it says in the bible: "Faith, hope and love - the greatest of these is love." At Clarity, we believe that children thrive in a loving environment, where they are free to be themselves, to be happy, to grow and learn. They are encouraged not only to tolerate each other, but to have an all-encompassing mutual respect for each other, their teachers and for other staff and visitors, learning ways to celebrate their uniqueness and individuality. We aim to be a school where children have fun, are confident learners with a high self-esteem; where children learn to love learning and carry this ethos with them throughout their lives.
