Welcome to Claregate Primary School
At the heart of our vibrant and diverse community, Claregate Primary School is a nurturing two-form entry primary school offering high-quality education from Nursery through to Year 6. We are proud to serve families from a wide range of backgrounds, celebrating the richness that diversity brings to our school life.
Our school motto, “Inspire tomorrow, today...”, reflects our commitment to nurturing curious minds and compassionate hearts. We believe that every child has the potential to shape a better future, and we work together to lay the foundations for lifelong learning and success.
Our dedicated staff work together to create a safe, inclusive, and inspiring environment where every child is encouraged to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. We believe that education is most powerful when rooted in strong values, and at Claregate Primary School, we live by five core principles: honesty, kindness, resilience, responsibility, and respect. These values guide everything we do and help our pupils grow into confident, thoughtful, and responsible citizens.
We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our curriculum, community, and the many opportunities we offer to support and enrich your child’s learning journey.

At Claregate Primary School we aim to prepare our students to become good citizens of the future. Through our curriculum we teach pupils British values and how to celebrate diversity.
