PORTHCAWL COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL

ST CLARE’S SCHOOL

We know that high-quality early education provision is essential to children’s development. This is not just day care …this is a St Clare’s School nursery education with Spanish/French, Music, PE and optional ballet for children from the age of 2½.

From your child’s first day at our Nursery and Pre-School, they become part of St Clare’s family and can access eleven acres of magnificent grounds and all the facilities and resources of an independent school.

With our innovative new Early Years curriculum and outstanding level of care, your child will receive all the support they require to:

· Develop their capabilities as ambitious competent learners;

· Become creative contributors and responsible citizens in society;

Summer examinations have now finished, and we have said a final farewell to our wonderful Year 11 and Year 13 students, marking the occasion with our annual leavers’ assemblies and afternoon tea for Year 13. There have been lots of celebrations, shirt signing, smiles, and of course photographs! To all students, I wish you every success for the future and I look forward to seeing you on results day. I also look forward to welcoming many students to our Sixth Form in September – we are already looking forward to starting Year 12 with you! Recently, our Year 11 public speaking group represented PCS at the national finals, held in Cambridge University. The team made the final 12 schools out of 425 and were the only Welsh school and the only comprehensive school at the national finals – well done! In the Sixth Form, we have held our induction week to support and prepare our Year 12 students move into their final year, and preparation for university and employment. It was an interesting week with lots of activities taking place. Year 10 have been involved in mock interviews with employers to provide them with the opportunity to develop their communication skills as they move into Year 11 and begin to prepare for their final year and next steps.
