Aspire to Excellence - The Clarendon College

e Clarendon College Way
Our vision for every student
e Clarendon College / Aspire to Excellence
Secondary school education is preparation for
life. At Clarendon we take that privilege and
responsibility very seriously.
We begin with the end in sight, knowing that
over seven years, from leaving primary school
at eleven to graduating from the 6th Form at
eighteen, we have to provide the inspiration,
knowledge, teaching, learning and support to
encourage every young person to reach for
their dreams.
is is a child centred school. We have to
provide for the needs of the 21st century
and be very sensitive to the challenges
facing young people. Every decision made
in this school is done for the benefit of
every student.
“e positive behaviour and
attitudes of the students continues to
be a strong feature of the College.”
Ofsted Report
At all times the aim is to ensure:
• A safe, happy and respectful environment
• e development of a love of learning
• Skills for life
• High expectations
• Self-discipline and resilience
• e development of ambitious, inquiring minds
• Empathy for others.
Respect is a key word. At Clarendon you won’t
find senior teachers locked away in offices and
meetings. We visit every lesson and students
stand when we enter the room. Teachers are
addressed as Sir or Miss. Old fashioned, yes.
And it works…
