For over 70 years we've welcomed students from across the globe, building a community where students think independently, engage with global issues, and grow into globally minded citizens.

The Enrichment award recognises everything that happens beyond the classroom too, including our CAS programme, student leadership opportunities, and careers guidance that help students flourish both now and in the future.

Huge congratulations to our whole community, students, staff, and families, for making this possible. Here's to continuing to inspire, nurture, and shape the next generation of global citizens! ๐ŸŒ

Recently, our English department invited Creation Theatre Company to St Clare's to give our Pre-IB students the wonderful opportunity to take part in their 'Play in a Day' workshop! ๐ŸŽญ

Creation Theatre worked with small groups of students to rehearse sections of Macbeth before the whole year-group came together at the end of day to put on a fantastic performance of the play as a whole.

What a brilliant and fun way to take Macbeth out of the classroom! ๐ŸŽ“ ๐Ÿ“–

For the third year running, our IB students headed to North Kidlington Primary School to run a CAS science fair, leading hands-on stalls for 9, 10, and 11-year-olds! ๐Ÿ”ฌ

Many primary schools face challenges in delivering practical science lessons due to the costs of equipment and resources, so opportunities like this are especially valuable. Our students organised and led every stall, bringing real enthusiasm and creativity to make science fun and interactive for every single pupil there.

A fantastic afternoon for all! ๐ŸŽ“
