Open mindedness
Students learn to approach differences as strengths and celebrate the best in themselves, others and society.
Responsibility
As students progress, they become more reliable, dependable and accountable for their actions. They develop integrity and the courage to respectfully stand up for their beliefs.
Courage
Making mistakes is inevitable and students leverage these moments to grow and improve. They become accustomed to face challenges head-on and take calculated risks to discover new possibilities.
Integrity
Students stay true to themselves and others applying consistent honesty and authenticity in all relationships.
During my time at Claremont, I blossomed into a more confident and ambitious version of myself.
Maisie 2024, Alumni
During my time at Claremont, I blossomed into a more confident and ambitious version of myself. Whilst applying to Universities, I was fully supported and encouraged by staff and pupils alike, and the unique working relationship I was able to develop with each of my teachers allowed me to get the very most out of my education. With a lot of dedication and hard work, I achieved my dream, and am now a pupil studying for my Integrated Masters in Chemistry at the University of Oxford
Experience a sense of belonging at Claremont and become your best self with the support of our close-knit community.
