Clayesmore
Overview
Clayesmore
is located in the heart of the beautiful Dorset countryside in Southern England
and caters for young people aged 8-13 in our purpose built Prep School, and
from 13 to 18 in the Senior School, both of which exist side by side on the one
campus.
Facilities are outstanding at both schools and three major new academic
buildings have been built in the last ten years underlining our belief in first
class teaching. A wide range of subjects is available at both GCSE and at
A-level catering for all academic interests – Maths and Sciences, Economics,
Psychology and Business Studies as well as Design & Technology, Art and
Music, and many more. The school is strong in music and the arts and achieves
impressive academic standards amidst a broad ability range. Outstanding
teaching, a rich diversity of sporting and cultural opportunities, leadership
and adventure activities and an impressive programme of residential trips and
foreign travel combine to inspire every pupil to reach their goals in school
and in life.
The boarding experience at Clayesmore is exceptional with inspectors describing
it as OUTSTANDING. International students very quickly become part of the
Clayesmore family and play a full part in the rich and varied life of the
school. Come and see us soon!
Unique Points
All British boarding schools are unique and very special! Clayesmore’s strengths and uniqueness centre upon strong academic standards supported by first class pastoral care right across the age range. Clayesmore is a very happy, thriving school with beautiful, safe surroundings, yet we are just 2 hours from London and its major airports, Heathrow and Gatwick. Fun, friendship, happiness and preparation for life after school are hallmarks, with international students quickly becoming part of the Clayesmore family and enjoying all that we have to offer.
Entry Requirements
The majority of our EAL pupils take an EFL exam each academic year. Through experience we have found that this results in motivation and a sense of achievement for our students, in addition to their being stretched continually. The exams we offer include: Cambridge ESOL,PET, FCE, CAE, CPE,IGCSE ESOL; SATS, IELTS
My consultant was very helpful and motivating. She helped me every step of the way, even when the deadline was so close. I feel I could not have done it without her. I'd highly recommend this service to any and all of my many friends interested.
