Last week on the 19th of April the HMI came in to inspect our school. Many children were taken out of class to be interviewd aswell as the teachers. We showed the inspector all around the school and they were so happy. P7b even made target sheets to show what we are doing and how confident we feel about our work. Everyone put so much effort into their behaviour and effort in school. We have passed the inspection and got very good reviews. We would like to say thank you to the children for all the hard work and behaving beautifully during this inspection and at all other times. |

The Rainbow Room have been working in the garden but are needing some adult helpers. We usually spend time gardening on a Monday afternoon but we would welcome volunteers at any time to do a bit of tidying up and weeding. If you are able to give even a little time to help us out please contact the school to let us know. |

Welcome to St Clare's Primary School |

At St. Clare's it is our fervent hope that parents will enter into a partnership with the school to provide for its pupils a happy, safe and secure educational environment instilling into the children a pride in their school and locality. Your child will cope best when he/she knows that we are all working together, presenting the same standards and expectations for his/her education and future. We are always pleased to welcome parents and to encourage your involvement in the school. I hope that this website will help to inform you about St Clare's School, and I look forward to developing a partnership with you and ask you to support our school aims and policies for the education of your child. In partnership with Glasgow City Council, we aim to Create a learning environment in which our children feel happy, secure and eager to learn. Through our inclusive Catholic ethos, we will ensure the formation of children who always give their best for God, for themselves, for their families and for other people Raise the attainment of all children across the curriculum, setting challenging but acheivable targets for each child within a school ethos of excellence Work Flexibly and creatively to ensure access to the curiculum for all children. Develop each child's spiritual, moral, physical and emotional maturity in partnership with parents.
All staff, ancillary and teaching, are fully committed to their pastoral role in ensuring that every child feels happy, valued and successful within the school. We at St Clare's endeavour to develop in our children not only a love of their faith and of learning, but also a desire to reach beyond the confines of the school, to take their place in the community and in the world at large. I know we can count on your support Eileen Duffy Head Teacher |

St. Clare’s is a Health Promoting School and we are working towards achieving Health Promoting status. “A Health Promoting School is one in which all members of the school community work together to provide pupils with integrated and positive experiences and structures, which promote and protect their health. This includes both the formal and informal curriculum in health, the creation of a safe and healthy school environment, the provision of appropriate health services and the involvement of the family and the wider community in effort to promote health”(WHO,1995) In order for our children to reach their full potential we need to take account of various factors related to healthy living, including physical, social, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing. St. Clare’s will be visited on 2nd March 2010 by two members of the Health Promoting Schools Management Group, and hopefully we will achieve formal Health Promoting status. As well as a coherent Health and Wellbeing curriculum, we have always promoted healthy choices for our children in St. Clare’s and the visit should confirm this. In St. Clare’s we have a Health Working Party, which consists of five members of staff.We work together in order to take forward new initiatives and to ensure that we carry out the priority tasks in our School Improvement Plan. We also have a Health Committee, which consists of a pupil from every class in the school, one parent, one of our support staff and one teacher. The Health Committee work together to promote health in St. Clare’s and the wider community. Our annual Health Week will take place between the 22nd - 26th March and as usual we will have lots of different activities going on throughout the week. The time-table and further information will be sent home with the children nearer the time. Parents/carers will also have opportunities to consider their own health and wellbeing. |
