St Clere's School

“The Pursuit of Excellence”

St Clere’s School is a specialist Language College which has served the local communities of Stanford-le-Hope, East Tilbury, Linford, Orsett and Horndon-on-the-Hill since 1978 developing a proud reputation of academic excellence.

We became a Language College in 2001 because we are committed to being an outward looking school with an international, global spirit and want our pupils to have a future on the world stage.

More recently St Clere’s School became a resource base for hearing impaired and visually impaired pupils across the whole of Thurrock.
We use an exciting range of techniques and resources in the classroom to make sure that each student is motivated, focused and learning effectively. Our students are encouraged to become independent and active learners, taking personal responsibility for their work and pride in their achievements. We encourage them to think critically, to express themselves as individuals and to communicate with confidence.

St Clere’s has an inclusive curriculum with a balance of vocational and academic subjects, allowing students to match courses with their interests and abilities. Students, their teachers and parents work closely to develop Individual Education Plans and personal targets to secure their success. This is reflected in our excellent examination results which are not only above the national average but also show particularly high achievement for boys.
