Headteacher's Welcome
Welcome to Clifton-upon-Dunsmore Church of England Primary School, which has been on this site since 1850.
Our aim is for all children to develop their talents, reach their full potential and be happy during their time with us. Our distinctive Christian ethos permeates through our whole school community enabling each child to grow in the love of God and one another.
We follow Jesus' teaching to,
"Love the Lord your God with all of our heart, soul, strength and mind and love your neighbour as yourself." Luke 10 v 27.
We want our children to feel safe, secure and enjoy learning so we plan our learning to be exciting and interesting enabling each child to succeed. We celebrate each child’s successes and encourage the development of their confidence and self-esteem, so that on leaving our school they are well prepared to face the challenges ahead and hopefully, carry with them very fond memories of Clifton upon Dunsmore Primary School.
Christian values underpin everything we do: focussing on Respect, Truthfulness, Forgiveness, Thankfulness, Perseverance, Friendship, Compassion and Community. You can find out more about this through our vision and ethos page.
Our mission is for every child to be prepared so that:
'With open minds and loving hearts, we will achieve.'
All of the staff and I feel that it is an honour and privilege to serve the young people in our care and we strive to provide the best we can for each and every one. We recognise that all our pupils are unique and precious and so we strive to meet their needs and develop their individual gifts. We encourage our children to achieve academic excellence across the curriculum so that they can contribute positively to society.
