About
Our traditional approach to education is balanced with contemporary ideas and techniques. The broad and rigorous curriculum is constantly evolving to give each individual child as many educational opportunities as possible.
Staff are proud of the school’s strength in languages and sciences as well as the more creative subjects such as graphics, textiles and drama.
Each child is valued as an individual in an environment where their talents can flourish. St Clare’s students become confident, balanced, critical thinkers who are well prepared for life beyond school.
Helen Hier
Headteacher
Helen Hier became Head at St. Clare’s School in June 2018 after 5 years as Deputy Headteacher and 15 years as a Spanish Teacher. Helen attended St. Clare’s before studying Modern Foreign Languages at Cardiff University before gaining her Masters in Education.
Helen is passionate about the teaching and learning of modern foreign languages and immediately introduced weekly Spanish lessons throughout the Prep School from Nursery. She believes that teaching a child a foreign language at an early age results in better fluency and that learning a language will also improve their problem-solving and critical thinking skills and improve their memory. She has also introduced a new Enrichment Programme which started in September 2018.
Helen is married to Richard and they have two children.
