Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions a parent will make — not just academically, but for a child’s personal growth, confidence and future success. At Adcote School for Girls, our mission is clear: to give every student the skills, resilience, and self-belief to thrive in an ever-changing world.
This is why we developed the CLEAR Learning Programme, a unique framework centred on Confidence, Leadership, Engagement, Achievement and Resilience. CLEAR is not just an initiative — it is woven into every lesson, activity, and experience at Adcote.
CLEAR is Adcote’s award-winning whole-school approach that helps girls develop the character strengths needed for academic success and lifelong fulfilment. At the heart of CLEAR is the belief that girls flourish when they feel empowered, supported, and challenged in the right way.
C – Confidence
Girls learn to trust their abilities, voice their ideas, and take intellectual risks. Confidence is nurtured through public speaking, classroom debates, leadership roles, and a supportive learning environment that celebrates effort as much as success.
L – Leadership
Adcote students are encouraged to lead — whether it’s captaining a sports team, taking responsibility in their House, or spearheading a community initiative. Leadership opportunities are available at every stage, helping girls build independence and initiative.
E – Engagement
We believe girls learn best when they are curious, involved, and connected to real-world experiences. Engagement is fostered through hands-on learning, educational trips, cross-curricular projects and meaningful collaboration.
A – Achievement
Adcote is proud of its strong academic results, but achievement goes far beyond exam grades. Our students pursue excellence in music, performing arts, STEM, sport, languages and more. Every girl’s strengths are identified and nurtured.
R – Resilience
Resilience is a critical skill in today’s world. Through pastoral support, coaching, and structured challenges, girls learn to navigate setbacks, manage stress and bounce back with greater determination.
Why CLEAR Matters for Girls’ Education
Research consistently shows that girls benefit enormously from an environment that builds confidence and fosters leadership. The CLEAR Programme supports girls academically and personally by:
-
Reducing fear of failure and perfectionism
-
Encouraging independent thinking
-
Building emotional intelligence and self-awareness
-
Strengthening communication and collaboration skills
-
Preparing students for university and future careers
By combining character development with academic excellence, Adcote ensures every student leaves fully prepared for life beyond school.
