At Claremont, we believe that every child should have the best possible start to their education and through this, should be given a wide range of opportunities and the chance to develop skills to fulfil their potential. Claremont is committed to providing a challenging and stimulating environment where children are understood as individuals with individual needs. Our aim is to support all children to be confident, be curious and be creative.

Our school values are: 

• Autumn 1: Determination with self-belief
• Autumn 2: Respect and kindness
• Spring: Joy in wellbeing
• Summer: Imagination through curiosity 

British values are implicit in whole school practice:

• Democracy: school council, digital leaders, sports leaders, green team; an understanding of how citizens can influence decision-making; children actively take part in voting processes in those pupil-led groups and also things like Claremont's Got Talent.
• Rule of law: as shown in the school’s code of conduct and the positive behaviour policy; marking and feedback give clear guidance to expectations and self-improvement.
• Individual liberty: all children know they have a voice; assemblies, such as Anti-bullying Week; online safety, choice of after school clubs; some choices at lunchtime (eg. Maslow’s Corners, The Haven, self-service salad bar and dessert).
• Mutual respect for and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs and for those without faith: our whole school ethos, values and pillars; the curriculum characteristics; Using KCC RE scheme of work which provides varied opportunity to explore, learn and discuss cultures, and faiths within the context of England and the world; extra-curricular- EAL celebrations from our community; displays; new school values and school assemblies, wellbeing ambassadors, buddies, sporting events.

Rights Respecting Schools Silver Award

We are proud to have achieved the Rights Respecting Schools Silver Award: Rights Aware in June 2026. This recognition reflects our commitment to embedding the values of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) throughout school life. At Claremont Primary School, children learn about their rights and responsibilities and are encouraged to respect the rights of others. Through our curriculum, pupil voice opportunities and positive relationships, we promote a culture of respect, equality, inclusion and wellbeing. Achieving the Silver Award demonstrates that children’s rights are at the heart of our ethos and that pupils are actively involved in making our school a safe, supportive and inspiring place to learn and grow.

There are three strands to meet in order to achieve the Silver Award:

1. Teaching and Learning about rights: for the whole school community through training, curriculum, assemblies, topics, focus days/weeks, displays.
2. Teaching and Learning through rights: by modelling rights respecting language and attitudes, and making strategic decisions that involve students.
3. Being ambassadors for the rights of others: developing as rights respecting citizens.

We have embedded the language and principles of the Rights Respecting Schools framework throughout our school, including in policies, assemblies, lessons and curriculum planning. Pupils confidently use this shared language when discussing learning, relationships and real-life situations, both in the classroom and on the playground.

Our aim is for children's rights to be fully embedded in every aspect of school life, ensuring that all pupils benefit from a positive, inclusive and respectful culture where every child feels valued, heard and supported to achieve their full potential.

Our vision is to provide: A hub of educational excellence and innovation, supporting and valuing everyone.
