Clore Tikva School

As a Jewish faith school our aim is for children to experience the joy and wonder of Jewish life while celebrating the diversity around us; our children come from a mix of backgrounds, some religious, some not, but they all unite in the shared values and traditions they find at Clore Tikva School.

We are fortunate to have a caring, committed staff, supportive parents and a skilled governing body who work in partnership to ensure the best outcomes for our pupils. We strive to provide a secure, friendly and happy learning environment for all our children; together we encourage our children to be motivated to learn and to celebrate their achievements.

We pride ourselves on setting high expectations for all in everything we do.Our school is focussed on promoting children’s academic, physical and spiritual development, laying down good foundations for their continued progress.We follow a broad and balanced creative curriculum where Jewish Studies is threaded throughout.Our aim is for each child to achieve their full potential, and at the same time we are truly inclusive and have a track record in ensuring high quality provision for pupils who have additional needs.

Judaism is at the heart of what we do and no more so than at festivals, where pupils’ experiences, through lessons and activities, create a warmth and atmosphere which is unique to our Jewish school.Through community links we have been able to share some of these events with local non-Jewish schools, enabling their pupils to learn about our culture.

All pupils at Clore Tikva have weekly Jewish Studies lessons. As a pluralist school, we teach Judaism from an inclusive perspective, while also making the children aware of the ways in which all members of the community practise Judaism. Pupils have the opportunity to learn about a range of Jewish topics. We are also passionate about integrating Jewish Studies to other areas of the curriculum. Children experience Judaism throughout the year at Clore Tikva with daily worship and other activities that constantly remind them of their heritage.
