BOARDING LIFE

When students join our vibrant boarding community, they immediately become part of the Claremont family and go on to forge what often become life-long friendships, across different cultures and age groups.

Home from Home

We believe that happy students are more productive students and this is why we are extremely proud of our two safe and supportive boarding houses, both of which provide a familiar, family-style environment.

After School and Weekends

Our weekend activity programme gives students plenty of opportunities to socialise, immerse themselves in local life and experience a wide range of cultural trips and activities with visits to cities including London and Brighton.

Health and Wellbeing

Claremont’s Director of Boarding is the link between home and school, providing advice, help and support for all boarding students, whatever their needs.

BOARDING HOUSES

Claremont has two boarding houses, one for senior boys and one for girls and junior boys. Each has its own unique character but offers safe, comfortable accommodation.
Both houses are located off campus (approximately 15 minutes by minibus) as we believe it is beneficial for boarders to have some separation from school, just like day students.

Pyke House

Pyke House is our Girls and Junior Boarding House in the historic village of Battle in East Sussex. It has a warm and welcoming community feel, great shops nearby and is just a five minute walk from the mainline station into London.

Clyde House

Clyde House accommodates boys from Year 9 to Year 13. It is a spacious and airy building with a range of private rooms, en-suite facilities and a big garden. The house is within walking distance of local shops and a large supermarket and is just three miles from the seaside.

Unique International Learning Opportunities

Claremont School is part of the International Schools Partnership, one of the largest educational groups in the world, with over 70 schools and 45,000 students across the world. For Claremont and ISP, learning sits at the heart of everything we do. In addition to the financial security and significant investment in our facilities, being part of International Schools Partnership has enabled us to offer students an evolving programme of unique international learning experiences often reserved for the traditional 'gap year'. We believe this offering really does set us apart from many other independent ‘through schools’ in the UK.

We are part of a global group of schools

The International Schools Partnership is a focused, growing and financially secure group of schools located within 11 countries in Europe, The Americas, The Middle East and Southeast Asia.
