Students make good progress over their time in the school. They achieve increasingly well at GCSE and A Level because of the effective support and guidance provided by teachers.
ISI Report, 2024
In our sixth form, learning is about depth, independence, and balance. At Claremont, students benefit from experienced, caring teachers and their personalised guidance and students are encouraged to take ownership of their studies while enjoying small classes and expert teacher support.
Our curriculum is designed to bring out the best in every student, reflected in this year’s exceptional A level results.
Learning and Support
Students have six to seven lessons per subject each week, plus up to ten independent study periods for subject clinics, enrichment, and co-curricular opportunities.
With smaller classes and daily tutor time, every student receives personalised support. Wellbeing, personal growth, tailored careers guidance, PSHEE lessons, and one-to-one subject clinics ensure each student enjoys a fully individual experience.
Students leave as confident young adults, prepared for top universities, specialist institutions, competitive apprenticeships and exciting opportunities beyond Claremont.
Key Features
- Smaller classes: Typically 8–15 students, creating space for one-to-one support, debate, and collaboration.
- Focused lessons: Six to seven 45-minute lessons per subject each week, keeping energy and focus high.
- Independent study: Up to ten periods per week for subject clinics, enrichment, and co-curricular activities. Students use this time for exam practice, research, revision, or lesson preparation.
- Academic support: Around 50 weekly study clinics are available weekly, and teachers are approachable and available both in and out of the classroom.
- Additional qualifications: Year 12 students complete an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) in a topic of their own choosing as part of our academic enrichment Joyce Grenfell Programme.
- PSHEE and careers guidance: Delivered through tutor time to support personal development and future planning.
- Supportive teachers: Staff are approachable and available both in and out of the classroom.
Independent study
In addition to homework, sixth form students are expected to allocate considerable time to independent study. This is additional time where students gain a deeper understanding of their subjects. This could involve completing past examination questions, making additional notes, extended reading and research, working from a revision guide, or preparing for future lessons.
Students have up to ten periods in school which they can allocate to independent study. Utilising this time wisely often contributes to achieving the higher grades at A level.
One to one study clinics are available for all subjects and students are encouraged to research and complete an EPQ (Extended Project Qualification) in an area of interest of their own choosing, alongside A levels.
