St Clare’s is a special place.

The governors and staff strive to ensure that every child achieves their potential across all subjects by offering a vibrant environment, rich learning opportunities and expert tuition in sport and music – all with Christ at the centre of everything we do.

Our motto is, “Learning through faith” and from the moment you enter the building, the Catholicity of the school is evident. It permeates through how the children behave towards each other and their surroundings; how they show respect to their peers and the adults in school; how they react when they face challenges – both personal and academic – and in how they grow in their faith as they journey through the school.

We are part of the St Thomas Aquinas Catholic Multi-Academy Trust which is a network of twenty-two schools and the Leicestershire Catholic Teaching School Alliance. This association allows collaboration and access to expertise in all areas of school life, enabling St Clare’s to offer the best education possible for the children entrusted to our care.
