Success For All<br />

Superb teaching and learning<br />

e <strong>Clarendon</strong> <strong>College</strong> / <strong>Aspire</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Excellence</strong><br />

Our core purpose is ensuring maximum<br />

success for every student. We set stretching<br />

targets for all students; from the moment<br />

we speak <strong>to</strong> their Year 6 teacher we are<br />

planning their route <strong>to</strong> success. Targets are<br />

reviewed regularly and parents kept well<br />

informed. In the core subjects we use<br />

setting <strong>to</strong> ensure maximum progression<br />

for every child.<br />

All teachers are challenged <strong>to</strong> be<br />

‘outstanding’ and lessons are rigorously<br />

reviewed. We believe that the modern<br />

classroom should be an inspiring blend of<br />

contemporary technology and the eternal<br />

art of good teaching.<br />

“<strong>Clarendon</strong> <strong>College</strong> is such a<br />

friendly place <strong>to</strong> study. I’ve made<br />

loads of friends and the teachers<br />

give you so much support.”<br />

Josh, Year 10<br />
