Nestled in the picturesque Dorset countryside, Clayesmore is not just a school; it's a vibrant community where students thrive both academically and personally.

We believe in nurturing the individual talents of each student, fostering a lifelong passion for learning, and instilling the confidence to tackle any challenge the world throws their way. According to The Good Schools Guide, there's never a dull moment here!

Our dynamic curriculum, both inside and outside the classroom, creates a buzzing atmosphere teeming with possibilities. From outstanding academic achievements to personalised support in our renowned learning department, we ensure success at every level.

We're not just about academics though, we're committed to creating an all-encompassing learning environment. Recently, we've invested in upgrading our facilities to ensure our students have the best possible experience. In the last few years we have focused on sports facilities, with brand new ECB standard cricket nets, a top-notch astro pitch and a state-of-the-art gym. We're also looking to the future with excitement, with plans underway for a new theatre and cricket pavilion complex, promising more opportunities for creative arts, sports development and community engagement. Our aim is to continually raise the bar and provide exceptional experiences for our pupils.

Beyond academics and facilities, Clayesmore offers a holistic experience for both students and staff. From our welcoming boarding facilities to our dedicated pastoral care, everyone is valued and supported in our inclusive community.

As a working environment for talented and energetic teaching and support staff, we understand the importance of continuous professional development and offer a comprehensive professional development programme, designed to support and empower at every stage of your career. We're committed to helping everyone reach their full potential.

At Clayesmore, we're not just shaping pupils; we're nurturing the thinkers, makers, players and creators of the future. So if you're ready to join a team that's caring, dynamic, and dedicated to making a difference, we want to hear from you.
