Hello I am Mrs Day and I am the Head of School at Co-op Academy Clarice Cliff.

I have had a number of roles during my time here which has helped me to know all of our families and community very well.  Excellent pastoral care is at the heart of everything that we do, ensuring that every single pupil has the right conditions to be successful in their learning.  We have highly skilled and experienced staff who work with our pupils and families to make sure that school days are a child’s best days and that everyone feels like a valued member of the school community.

My passion is reading which drives our whole school approach of “every child a reader”.  We have a beautiful library with a wide range of engaging books, exciting family learning opportunities and daily high quality reading activities which develop a love of reading.  We strive to ensure that children develop the essential skills of reading right from Nursery so that every child has a world of opportunities opened up for them by being able to read widely.

We have vast grounds with a range of equipment for children to access.  We have more exciting projects coming up to make this even better too.  We also have our own polytunnel and garden so that children can learn a broader range of skills and make the most of the outdoor environment including through Forest Schools.

As well as academic skills, our pupils also take part in a range of activities to develop their leadership skills.  This includes prefects, school councillors, reading councillors, rock band and a wide range of sporting activities.  We know that every child has a talent and we provide every opportunity to make sure that this talent is realised.

We look forward to sharing in your child’s journey through Primary School with you.
