Open House Days & Weeks

Claremont is located in the beautiful East Sussex countryside, just 70 minutes from London, 10 minutes from the coast and surrounded by mediaeval villages, castles, vineyards and miles of rolling green hills.

Claremont will celebrate its centenary in 2025 and the school has been on an extraordinary journey over recent years. The Senior School was founded in 2011, Claremont became part of International Schools Partnership in 2018 opening up exciting new international learning opportunities for our pupils. We have secured a fourth consecutive ‘outstanding’ rating from Ofsted and national recognition for our Performing Arts programme, environmental responsibility and student newspaper.

With strong A level performances each year, a double national award-winning performing arts programme, and a Prep School with Green Flag and BBC Young Reporter School status, there is much to be proud of and we have plenty to look forward to.

At Claremont, we offer a ‘through school’ student experience, which not only ensures a continuity of educational ethos, but also a shared value system and approach to overseeing the social and emotional wellbeing of all of our students.

Academic and pastoral leaders at the Prep and Senior schools work together to ensure a smooth transition and we also share resources and facilities across both sites, so when children move up to Senior School in their established friendship groups, they are already familiar with the building layout and even know some of their new teachers.

Our Performing Arts programme is highly regarded.  Claremont holds the ISA national award for Achievement and Innovation in the Performing Arts 2023 and was named Independent School of the Year for Performing Arts in 2021/22. 

The programme is not just for those who wish to pursue a career in performing arts. It also helps all students to develop important life skills such as adaptability, flexibility and collaborative working techniques, which will help secure a place at university or a dream role in a competitive job market.

Our LAMDA provision is outstanding and offered to Gold standard which is university level. In August 2023, all of our students achieved Distinctions in their examinations.

Claremont School is part of the International Schools Partnership, one of the largest educational groups in the world, with over 80 schools in 15 countries.  It is five years since we joined the partnership and in that time we have made great strides right across the school.  Learning sits at the heart of everything we do. In addition to the financial security and significant investment in our facilities, our membership of the ISP group 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.
