Welcome to Clore Shalom School

We are a warm, nurturing school where we value all children as people. We pride ourselves on our family and community atmosphere and we place great value on getting to know our children and families well. We believe that collaboration is the key to successful working. Our committed staff team provide a consistently high standard of learning and teaching along with a unique approach to pastoral care and wellbeing.

We encourage pupils to enjoy the challenge of learning, through a broad, balanced and varied curriculum, enabling them to develop their individual potential in a secure, caring environment. Reading is the heart of our curriculum and our primary commitment to our children is that they will leave Clore Shalom as proficient, dynamic readers who see the great value of books in their lives. We see a foundation of play as key to learning in the primary phase, and our extensive grounds are developed to encourage meaningful play opportunities from Reception to Year 6 which develops our children not just emotionally and socially but physically as well.

Our children are enthusiastic, deeply engaged learners who through our personal development yearly curriculum progress academically, socially and emotionally throughout their time in our school.

Our pupils love learning about Jewish culture and their heritage and leave Clore Shalom ready to become confident and valued members of their own Jewish communities.

We see our children as future citizens and this is key to our curriculum aims, our code of conduct, our enrichment programme and our personal development programme. We see the education they will receive at Clore Shalom as the first stage in a process that powers our future democracy.
