School Vision
Our vision at Clacton County High School is to create opportunities within and beyond the curriculum
to enable each student to develop his or her potential to the full in order that he or she may be a
confident, independent and successful adult.
We seek to widen the aspirations of all students, to help them to create a goal they can then strive to achieve.
We have high expectations of academic success and personal behaviour and believe that these are best achieved in a caring environment.
Both these aims are encompassed in our mission statement.
In addition:
We recognise the importance of each individual within the school community and the place of the school in the local community.
We seek to create a working environment in which learning is at the heart, students come to school to learn and it is our job to help them.
We aim to promote lifelong learning by developing creative, independent and reflective thinkers.
We encourage students to enjoy their time at school by providing a range of enrichment activities to help enable this.
We value responsibility, initiative and enterprise and build these into our curriculum.
We promote respect and good manners; these are fundamental to our community.
We believe in the equality of opportunity and in celebrating success of all kinds.
Clacton County High School has a distinctive ethos that is enriched by its Specialist Arts Status.
As a Specialist Arts College:
We provide a balanced and broadly based Arts education which is designed to develop enquiring minds and enthusiasm for art subjects.
We provide our students with the opportunity to gain confidence in themselves and in their ability to create and take part in art based activities.
We aim to develop students’ ideas and enable them to structure these ideas in a productive and creative way.
