Claremont High School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 25 March 2025

Claremont High School successfully strives to prioritise academic excellence while fostering the development of the whole individual, preparing pupils extremely well for their future. Pupils and adults alike fully embrace the school's values of 'enjoyment, perseverance, aspiration, respect and excellence'. Pupils receive high-quality teaching that enables them to thrive. They thoroughly enjoy attending school, have very strong attitudes to learning and behave extremely well. As a result, pupils achieve highly, and students in the sixth form excel, particularly in academic subjects. Most students progress to higher education, while some pursue apprenticeships. Pupils benefit from a meticulously designed and well-structured programme for personal development. The school's motto, 'Take part, get involved and try something new,' is deeply embedded in its culture. Pupils engage in an exceptionally diverse and comprehensively planned 'co-curricular' programme. These include performing arts productions, an extensive range of sporting activities, trips, visits and fundraising for various charitable organisations. There is something for everyone. Pupil leadership is a priority, with opportunities for pupils to take on roles as head students, senior prefects, subject ambassadors and college captains. Sixth-form students also take an active role in running clubs and make significant contributions to school events, including 'Claremont's Got Talent'.
