It is on this foundation that we have established our school&#8217;s Vision, Values and Aims. The whole school community of St Clare\u2019s co-created these, incorporating the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. These Rights underpin our daily practice and, alongside our Vision, Values &amp; Aims, have helped shape our unique identity and ensure St. Clare&#8217;s is the very best place for your child to learn, grow and thrive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">St. Clare\u2019s is a Roman Catholic Primary School, which opened in August 2017. It is situated in Newton Mearns, East Renfrewshire, and shares a campus with Calderwood Lodge Primary School, the only Jewish school in Scotland. Both schools are housed in a state of the art building, which benefits from a range of shared facilities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinglink.com\/video\/1429404958037377026\"
