Aspire to Excellence - The Clarendon College

Support For All
Every child matters
e Clarendon College / Aspire to Excellence
Every Clarendon student is a member of
a House Team. is ensures that their
progress is constantly monitored and
supported by the Head of House
(Directors of Student Progress), their
Academic Tutor and the House’s Pastoral
Support Leader. Again, very traditional
but with a 21st Century twist that works.
Tutor groups are kept very small and
contain students from each year group.
is ensures personal attention and a
holistic approach. e tutor group meets
for twenty minutes a day and attends
assembly together. (NB: ALL lessons are
taught in year groups – only tutor time
is mixed age).
“e success of the school lies
in the strong and effective leadership
of the Headteacher.”
Ofsted on Mark Stenton
e focus is on support and personal
development.
e Pastoral Support Leader is not a
teacher – ensuring constant availability.
e motto is simple – prevention is
better than the cure and we are able to
guide and support children promptly
and sympathetically to ensure all can
stay focussed on the core purpose of
enjoying learning.
Success is celebrated through individual
House Points, House Competitions and
Achievement Evening – a highlight of
the school year.
