2020 Vision Extra
In addition to our 2020 Vision the following projects, while not the main focus of our fundraising effort, are also part of the school's Development Plan, and will be undertaken as part of the school's ongoing project lists. However, they may be brought to fruition sooner than would otherwise be possible with support from the Clayesmore community and we would encourage interested parties to contact us to discuss them in further detail.
Clayesmore Bursary Fund
Clayesmore is proud of its tradition of providing access to the education it has to offer to as wide an audience as possible, irrespective of family circumstances. Over the years thousands of Clayesmorians have benefitted from the school’s generous Bursary system and funding means tested support remains a priority for the school. It may be that as a past recipient of a Clayesmore scholarship or bursary that you wish your gift to the school to support its investment in the education of the current generation of Clayesmorians, rather than a building project, and if this is your wish we would be delighted to hear from you. Please contact the Development Office if this is the case - T: 01747 813160 E: louise@clayesmore.com
Chapel Gallery
The installation of the school’s wonderful new organ in September 2009 has created the opportunity to build a gallery at the west end of the chapel and refurbish the building, to enable the whole of the senior school to meet and worship together as a family. The project will add some 100 seats at a projected cost of £250,000.
Music School Extension
The musical life of Clayesmore is very rich and varied and offers something to pupils of all ages and abilities, both in the classroom and in a performance setting. The popularity of the subject taught both as a subject in itself to A-Level and in the form of instrumental lessons means that the department is bursting at the seams and as such it is intended to extend the music school, creating teaching and rehearsal space that meets the requirements of the subject in terms of space and technology.
Prep School Gym
The Prep School Gym has played a vital role in the everyday life of the school since it was moved to the Iwerne Minster site from Charlton Marshall in the early 1970s. The plan will be to update the building allowing it to become a busy and vibrant multi-purpose centre for activities, assemblies and events.
