From the Clayesmore School
"Education without education of the heart is no education at all," the saying goes. One of the most important decisions we will ever make is selecting a school for our children since the atmosphere in which they are educated and the values that are promoted will have an impact on them for the rest of their lives. All parents want their kids to feel protected, safe, and happy while also being challenged and stimulated in the classroom. But that's not what we want. Future men and women who are making a significant difference in the world and the lives of those around them are the men and women we envision for our children: successful, self-assured, kind, and fulfilled. At Clayesmore, we truly believe in the long view, supporting parents in guiding their children toward living meaningful lives as well as ensuring that they have a solid academic foundation from which to flourish. Every child is valued and appreciated for the contributions they may make to our community, and we foster the environment of love, trust, and care that is necessary for their full development. A "one size fits all" approach is constrictive, so we work to support everyone in finding their own passions, whether they are academic, athletic, musical, artistic, or something else entirely. This will give them the self-assurance, drive, and self-worth they need to achieve their future objectives. I hope these sites convey the unique qualities that distinguish Clayesmore from other schools, from Nursery to Pre-Prep, Prep, Senior, and Sixth Form. Come see what Clayesmore has to offer each and every child by paying us a visit.
