Talk Education

Talk Education praises Claremont for its inclusive ethos and broad curriculum, highlighting a school where pupils are encouraged to discover their strengths across academic, creative and sporting life.

“The curriculum is very broad, allowing pupils to find their thing and fly with it, whether it’s in the creative, sporting or academic sphere. No one is pushed in a direction that doesn’t align with them.”

Senior School

“GCSE choices are incredibly flexible with 21 different subjects that include everything from languages and humanities to media and citizenship. Pupils are free to ‘find the route to be you’, says Mr Brierly, and their five options are unrestricted.”

Junior School

“Pastoral care is assiduous and the assistant head pastoral ‘Mr V’ (Vincent) is something of a legend among the children. He knows all the pupils by name and all the children we spoke to told us they feel very supported. There’s a real sense of mutual trust at the school, where pupils feel listened to.”
