Welcome from Mrs d'Arcy - Headteacher

Welcome from the Headteacher

A very warm welcome to St Clare’s Catholic Primary School, Fagley.

At St Clare’s, we are proud to be a happy, caring, and inclusive community where Christ is at the centre of all that we do. Our school is built upon strong Gospel values, and we strive to nurture each child’s spiritual, academic, and personal growth so that they may become the very best version of themselves.

Our mission statement, inspired by the words of Jesus in John’s Gospel “I have come that they may have life and have it to the full” (John 10:10), guides everything we do. This profound message reminds us that education is not only about knowledge and skills, but about living a life rooted in faith, love, joy, and hope. We want every child at St Clare’s to flourish, experience the fullness of life, and discover their God-given gifts.

We believe that every child is a unique gift from God, with talents and potential waiting to flourish. Through high-quality teaching, a broad and engaging curriculum, and a focus on creativity and curiosity, we encourage our children to love learning and to develop the skills they need to succeed in today’s world.

Working in partnership with parents, carers, the parish, and the wider community, we seek to build strong relationships that support every child on their journey of faith and learning. Together, we aim to foster resilience, kindness, respect, and a deep sense of responsibility for others.

Our website offers a glimpse of life at St Clare’s: the joy of learning, the celebration of faith, and the sense of belonging that our children experience each day. Whether you are a prospective parent, a current family, or a visitor, I hope you find it both welcoming and informative.

If you would like to know more about our school, please do not hesitate to contact us. We would be delighted to show you around and share the wonderful work that happens here every day. 

With every blessing, 

Mrs d’Arcy
