From the Clifton Primary School
Aiming to Bring Out the Best in Every Child Mrs. Rachel Legge is the headteacher.
I'd like to extend a warm welcome to you and your kid to Clifton Primary School on behalf of the faculty, governors, and students.
In order to meet each student's unique needs, we always put the kid at the centre of our educational philosophy in primary school, which is a crucial stage in every child's development. At Clifton.
Our goal is to push and encourage our students to achieve academic excellence while also ensuring that they have access to a wide range of additional options offered by the school, such as music lessons, extracurricular sports, and creative arts.
As a school, we are of the opinion that strong partnerships must be established with all members of the school community, particularly with parents and carers, in order to give our students the greatest all-around education possible.
In order to help all students reach their full potential, we work closely with parents and carers. To that end, we encourage you to sign a Home School Partnership Agreement, which demonstrates our shared dedication to your child's education and wellbeing.
There are over 240 students enrolled in Clifton Primary School, a community elementary school, ranging in age from 4 to 11.
In July 2015, OFSTED conducted an inspection of our facility. The full report highlights several of our great qualities, and the inspection team remarked on our "delightful children."
You may support and encourage your child in a variety of ways as they start attending school full-time.
As soon as your child enrols in our school, additional information will be made available through regular newsletters and informational evenings.
We would be happy to have you if you wanted to get more involved in school.
Please inquire at the office for more information.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch with your child's teacher, the school administrator, or myself if you have any additional questions or concerns. Our prospectus is intended to address many of the early queries that parents have when looking at schools.
We are adamant about the value of constant two-way communication.
