St Clare's School

Welcome to St Clare's SchooI and thank you for showing interest in our Academy.

I am delighted and honoured to be the Headteacher at St Clare’s School. As a school, our main job is to make sure the children are safe, happy and reaching their potential. Families make an important contribution to their child’s achievements at school and from my experience I know that a successful and happy school depends on all of us working together.

St Clare’s school is proud to offer personalised education to students aged 11-16 with moderate learning difficulties and associated needs including ADHD, Autism, communication, social, emotional and mental health and challenging behaviour. All students have an Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan which sets out the provision required to meet their individual needs.

Located in Mickleover we have 147 students on roll from across the City of Derby and southern Derbyshire.

At St Clare’s we hold a strong belief in the power of education to change children’s lives and the right of every child to receive an excellent education. The staff team are dedicated to building opportunities for students to achieve the highest academic standards, ensuring that they are known well as individuals and that their unique personality, talents and interests are nurtured and developed to the full.

In response to our student’s needs, we offer a full and diverse curriculum with specialist support designed to address the holistic needs of our students. The progress that our students make is judged as outstanding as a result of the teaching and support available to them and the progress that they make academically, socially and emotionally.

At St Clare’s School education is about developing the whole child and providing opportunities for them to flourish within and beyond the classroom. It is the aim of the whole school team to help each child become a successful learner and well-rounded individual who is ready to make the next steps in their journey.
