Good associations and strong collaborations between adults will encourage the good behaviour in children. At Clarice Cliff our main aim is to provide quality experiences in all aspects of school life thus enabling children to be happy, successful and keen to learn, helping them to grow into young people who are fulfilled and able to make a positive contribution to society. We aim to do this in the context of a warm and welcoming family ethos, encouraging an atmosphere of natural affection, a feeling of security and an ordered way of life. Our school is a place where success is celebrated and high self-esteem positively fostered. We believe that children should develop a happy way of being together, that their self-respect leads to a respect for the rights and needs of other children and adults; a respect which promotes equality and values the diverse local community.

I always make eye contact when speaking and listening to them, and get down to their level so I am not talking down to them.
