CLAREMONT LIFE: LEARNING ABOUT OURSELVES, OTHERS AND THE WORLD AROUND US.
We are really excited to share our junior school co-curricular and wrapround care programme, featuring many new clubs each term.
Wraparound care begins from Pre-Nursery, offering families consistent support from the very start of their Claremont journey. As children move into Reception, they are able to join our inspiring co-curricular club programme, which grows steadily as they progress through the school.
Clubs at Claremont are an integral part of the curriculum; after all a child's time at school extends far beyond the classroom. Learning happens in many ways and often flourishes when exploring an interest or discovering a new passion.
We have worked to carefully shape a broad and balanced range of clubs to complement classroom learning while also opening the door to new experiences. We hope that your child finds enjoyment and belonging in all that is on offer.
