Welcome
Headteacher
'Be the best you can be'
I am proud to be the Headteacher at Claydon High School and of the educational experience we offer to our students; we encourage them to "be the best they can be" and support them at every stage of their journey to achieve their maximum potential.
We have high academic standards and provide high quality lessons and bespoke intervention so that every student can achieve the best set of GCSE qualifications of which they are capable and this is partnered with a caring and supportive environment in which they can thrive personally.
Our core values include students CHALLENGING themselves, showing COMPASSION and a CONSCIENTIOUS approach to learning so that they are CONFIDENT in themselves and their potential to success in all aspects of school life and beyond.
