Our purpose is to ensure we develop well-rounded pupils who achieve great grades and have great character through our high standards and expectations. Our no phone policy is a key part of delivering disruption free learning, ensuring students have the best opportunity to learn.        

Clarion students are resilient and determined, focused and driven, qualities which are central to success.  Our students make exceptional progress, moving on after Year 11 to great destinations including our own Sixth Form and local colleges, and our Sixth Formers have progressed to a range of Russell Group university courses, apprenticeships and employment. Clarion students justifiably take pride in their achievements.  

Clarion is a rapidly improving school, after receiving the DfE results for 2023/24 GCSE exams we are proud to announce that we have achieved our best ever results and we are in the top 9% of schools across the country for progress.

We will continue to build and refine our Curriculum to ensure it is ambitious for all, that it is broad, balanced and develops key skills like resilience and a growth mindset.  My aim for academic excellence is simple: to improve progress measures of all students and continue the upward trend of students progressing to further education or to be better prepared for the world of work when they leave us.

Alongside the pursuit of academic excellence, we have a key role in ensuring all our students are happy. Our teachers and support staff care about championing each student on their journey to achieve excellence and reach their full potential. We never want great exam results to come at the cost of young people’s wellbeing, it is all about balance. It is important to have an outlet and take part in the many clubs, performances, trips and visits on offer.
