‘Striving to be the best we can be’
Here at Jerry Clay Academy we have very high expectations of our children and ourselves. We are proud of the infectiously happy & ‘magical’ environment we have created. We aim to prepare your children for a future full of learning which will enable them to play a full and active part in the world they inherit. The skills of team-work, effective communication, perseverance, risk-taking, self-discipline, being an inquirer and self-motivation (which we refer to as our ‘Learner Traits’) support our academic successes and will be key factors in your children’s future lives; we look forward to seeing them flourish within our aspirational, secure and happy environment. We believe that everyone is on an everlasting learning journey.

We want to ensure that we are constantly adapting to meet the needs of all of our learners in this exciting and ever-changing society.
