Why we love Clapham
Below are just a few of the super things that the children, parents and Ofsted inspectors have had to say about our school. You can download a copy of our school prospectus here: Clapham Terrace Primary School Prospectus
It’s fun. People are nice here. I like playing football.
Everything we do here is fair and success is celebrated but not boasted about. If there is ever a problem there is always someone to talk to. The teachers make every lesson as fun as possible for everybody.
Ben, Yr 5
I love literacy and my teachers at Clapham Terrace
George, Year 1
We were very impressed by the sensible way you behave around school, and we liked the way you play happily together and work hard in lessons.
Her Majesty’s Inspector to pupils, Feb 2010
I love doing my numeracy and literacy lessons and I really enjoy being in the playground as there are so many different activities you can do with the climbing wall, games, and climbing frame.
Imogen, Year 1
Strong relationships and the supportive, caring ethos of the school help pupils feel confident and enjoy their learning.
Ofsted Report, Feb 2010
…pupils are attentive, keen to learn and eager to answer questions.
Ofsted Report, Feb 2010
Pupils are treated with great sensitivity and respect which helps them grow in confidence and know that their contributions are valued.
Ofsted Report, Feb 2010
Children obviously enjoy being there, and parents agree.
Ofsted Report, Feb 2010
Because of the warm and welcoming environment and the good and sometimes outstanding teaching, children behave well and develop positive attitudes towards learning.
Ofsted Report, Feb 2010
I love Clapham Terrace because it is a nurturing school that values diversity and community. Ruby has made lots of friends and so have I. Staff, parents and children work together to create a lively and fun place to learn.
Parent to Reception pupil
It has the feel of a village school in the centre of a town
Parent to year 1 and Nursery pupils
Clapham Terrace is a great school where I have seen my son grow both academically and socially. Thanks to a dedicated staff and an active parent body, Clapham Terrace school stands out as both a place of learning and as a social community.
Parent to year 1 pupil
Because of the wonderful community it is and Clapham makes learning more fun.
Parent to year 3 and Reception pupils
I love our playground, especially the climbing frame and the climbing wall. I also like doing maths, learning to count on and count backwards. Reception was really good too because of all the playing and fun we had.
Sam, Yr 1
I like science because we get to do fun stuff like do experiments and write about what we found out in our science books. I also like all the discos where I can have fun with my friends and my mum and dad can talk to other mums and dads.
Theodore, Year 2
