From the Claycots School
At Claycots School Partnership we believe that all children have the potential to flourish and be successful at whatever they choose, we do not encourage them to try and be somebody else...we expect them to be the best version of themselves. But in order to be truly successful, one must be committed, persistent, and have a strong sense of self-will and direction. A Claycots student stands out from their peers in the larger community because they uphold the values of hard effort, resilience, loyalty, and integrity. Success does not come from desire alone. The Enigma Values serve as a guide for living and the secret to achievement, not simply in school. We all have a role to play in preparing the students for this thrilling and unpredictable journey—students, parents, extended families, and all school staff—as we help them become world-beaters. The culture of ambition they will be exposed to will, however, ensure that they are well prepared for life and constantly strive to take the necessary actions to realise their particular and special potential.
