What the school inspection says

“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.”

*Ofsted no longer makes an overall effectiveness judgment in inspections of state-funded schools. A five-point grading scale, including a new “exceptional” grade was introduced in November 2025.
