Clearwater Bay School

Clearwater Bay School is an ESF primary school offering the IB Primary Years Programme in a green, comparatively rural setting. Children explore ideas across subjects through inquiry, developing academic understanding alongside social, emotional and physical skills. The surroundings support an emphasis on environmental responsibility, including student-led Eco Warriors activities and Green Week. Sport, music, arts and teacher-led extracurricular clubs give pupils varied opportunities to discover interests and build friendships. Outdoor learning connects schoolwork with the wider world, while pastoral support and close family partnerships help children feel included. The school encourages pupils to become internationally minded learners who take practical action to improve their community and environment.
