ENQUIRE NOWEvery pupil is known and supported and, with excellence and ambition at our core, every pupil is challenged to reach beyond what they thought possible.
From first steps in our Nursery to the final flourish of Sixth Form — each stage is designed to build on the last, seamlessly.
Founded in 1896 by Lex Devine — a visionary ahead of his time — Clayesmore was built on the belief that education should nurture the whole person. Not just the scholar, but the artist, the athlete, the leader, the friend.
Today, that founding ethos remains at our heart. Set within 62 acres of Dorset countryside, we offer an all-through journey from Nursery to Sixth Form, rooted in values that endure and an outlook that's unmistakably modern.
