Our three boys' Houses and two girls' Houses are warm, 'family' environments where our boarders can socialise, work and have fun while being supported by experienced Houseparents, a strong pastoral team and academic staff who can help weather the storms of 'growing up' and support successful study. This pastoral care is further underpinned by exemplary medical care delivered by qualified nurses should boarders fall ill or require medical support.
On Saturdays, boarders and day pupils participate in LEX and form part of sporting and games teams in the afternoon. Sundays offer a wide range of trips and experiences too - but there is plenty of time to also unwind, rest and prepare for the week ahead in cosy dorms and common rooms. Exeats ( non-school weekends) also provide the opportunity for our international and overseas boarders to go on weekend trips with the school which are planned ahead and may include destinations such as London, Edinburgh or Paris.
Socialising within Houses and between Houses is important and many formal and informal events and dinners are planned for boarders throughout the year.
In Sixth Form, our boarders really start to develop a sense of independence and personal responsibility which sets them in good stead for life away from home, at university or in work.
All Clayesmore pupils, whether day or boarding, form part of each House community which ensures their friendships in the school are broad and diverse. Sixth Form students enjoy having responsibility for, and mentoring, younger pupils and all our students learn to treat others with compassion, kindness and respect in their 'home' at school.
Sixth Form day students use the House common rooms where they can relax and socialise with their friends and have a personal locker space to use during the day.
