Nestled in the heart of Dorset, Clayesmore has spent more than 130 years helping young people uncover what success means to them. Academic excellence is just one part of a wider educational journey that supports personal growth, confidence and self-belief.
This is a school where everyone is known – not just by name, but for who they are. Teachers take time to understand each child’s strengths, challenges and aspirations, creating an environment where individuals are seen, supported and encouraged to thrive.
The journey begins in the Prep School, where a structured and nurturing setting gives younger individuals a strong foundation. Early access to specialist teaching in subjects such as art, music, languages and sport sets the tone for a rich and balanced education.
As pupils move into the Senior School, they encounter a curriculum that challenges and inspires. From the creative arts and sciences to sport and outdoor education, there’s space for every individual to shine. The LEX enrichment programme and Duke of Edinburgh’s Award help young people build resilience, leadership and independence outside the classroom.
In the Sixth Form, students choose from a broad selection of A-levels and BTECs, taught in small groups with expert guidance.
Exceptional pastoral care sits at the heart of everything we do. As one parent shared: ‘Our daughter arrived reserved and unsure. Two years later, she left with top results, her first-choice university place, a renewed self-confidence, and friendships that will last a lifetime.’
Set on an expansive and picturesque campus, Clayesmore provides pupils with access to outstanding facilities – including a 25m swimming pool, an astro pitch, gym and purpose-built laboratories and creative studios.
If you’re looking for more than results – for a school that recognises your child’s unique potential – Clayesmore is where they thrive.
