Welcome to Claremont   

Claremont Preparatory and Nursery School is a very special place where children thrive and enjoy every moment of their day. Many pupils join us aged one and remain with the school until they reach the age of fourteen.

Family Values

Claremont places a very high value on family life, and therefore there is neither boarding nor Saturday school. We believe children benefit greatly from spending quality time with their families. However, we do all we can to help working parents. Pupils may arrive at school at 8.00am and be collected at 6.00pm. We  operate several school buses which bring children to school in the morning and deliver them home again in the evening.

Beautiful surroundings 

We are fortunate to occupy an outstandingly beautiful site with over 100 acres of grass pitches, open fields and mature woodland. We have a new purpose built theatre/assembly hall and have recently added a new floodlit all-weather pitch to our existing sports facilities.

Academic excellence 

In addition to offering a broad academic curriculum, our pupils enjoy excellent music, drama, art and sporting opportunities. We teach French from the age of four, and make full use of our own study centre in northern France to develop the linguistic skills of all pupils in the Prep School. We have a maximum class size of 18, allowing pupils to benefit from very high levels of individual attention.

A happy and secure environment 

We have successfully created an environment where children feel happy, secure and valued. We motivate and guide each child to achieve their very best, and encourage them to use their initiative and take responsibility for themselves and others at an early age. Claremont children quickly develop into caring, self-confident individuals.
