Claremont is a happy and thriving primary school that is proud to serve its local community. Our children, families, staff, and governors come from many different backgrounds and we believe this plays an important part in making Claremont the harmonious, vibrant, and successful school that it is. The school has a strong caring ethos, whilst at the same time having a clear focus on pupils’ learning and progress. Everyone at the school is committed to ensuring that our children feel safe, happy, and valued as well as ensuring they achieve their very best and develop a lifelong love of learning. Claremont Primary School is a two-form entry community school, providing education for over 400 pupils aged between 3 and 11 years old. At Claremont, we have a strong commitment to meeting the needs of all children. Children may have additional educational needs at any time in their school life and we believe early intervention and full consultation with parents to be of great importance. Our deputy headteacher is our Inclusion Manager and we also have a non-class based teacher, the Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO). Both these members of staff work particularly closely with other staff to devise appropriate programs of learning for the children. When necessary, we work in partnership with specialists from other services to support the children’s learning and development. 8 The admissions criteria for entry to Claremont Primary School apply equally to all children, including those who have a disability. Children are not discriminated against because they have a particular need. Where the child has an Educational Health Care Plan (EHCP – formerly a statement of special education need) the school will ensure the details of the EHCP are implemented, for example employing suitable staff to provide additional support for the child or undertaking specific programs such as speech and language therapy. At Claremont, we promote and expect high standards of behavior from both adults and pupils at all times. At the beginning of each school year, every class creates its own set of class rules. Also, we have a whole school Behaviour Code (available on request from the School Office or on our website) which is based around The Claremont Way, and which we expect all members of our community to follow. We aim to work in partnership with parents and carers. We value parental involvement within the school and see as vital the part you play in your child’s development and attitudes towards learning. Regular newsletters are sent home giving details of events and activities taking place. Each term, class teachers write their newsletter for parents, giving details of the work for that term as well as information about possible class trips, PE days, and when homework will be given. At Claremont Primary School we aim to create a safe, caring, friendly and welcoming environment where all members of our school community feel valued and are respected. Provide challenging, stimulating, and creative learning opportunities across the curriculum which engage pupils and motivate them to succeed. Have high expectations of our pupils, enabling them to become confident and successful learners, and to develop skills that will support them through life. Promote high standards of behavior and challenge all forms of bullying and discrimination. Work as a team of staff, parents, governors, and other members of the community to provide the best possible opportunities and achieve the best possible outcomes for all our pupils. View full school

At Claremont, dynamic curriculum design, tailored study plans, outstanding pastoral care, and inspirational teaching come together in two distinctive learning environments where every pupil can find their niche and be themselves. In March 2019, Claremont was judged to be ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted in all categories for a third successive time, which serves as further evidence of our ongoing commitment to driving standards in teaching at learning, our focus on pupil outcomes, and why Claremont is a school where all are welcome and all can thrive. Whether in the classroom, on the stage, out in the community, or on the sports field, at Claremont we give pupils, the best opportunities to shine by placing them at the center of their learning. Our broad, dynamic, and flexible curriculum play a key part in enabling teachers to formulate bespoke study paths that can play to pupils’ strengths and varying motivations to learn. Guided by a value system that promotes a positive attitude and desire to always get better, Claremont is a happy, hard-working center of learning where every pupil ‘fits’ and can be themselves. From the Nursery up to Sixth Form, we nurture a culture of mutual respect where every idea has value and possibilities and where pupils learn first hand, that hard work and perseverance lead to better outcomes. The needs aims and aspirations of Senior School students approaching their GCSE years and the world of work are, however, very different from those of the children in our Nursery and Prep School. In this respect, we believe that what differentiates our Schools is just as important as the shared values, aims, and beliefs that bind us together. Both our Prep and Senior School curriculum is designed to engage, challenge and inspire creativity and at the same time equip pupils with enough knowledge and skills to help them thrive in a busy world, continuously moving forward. The latter is achieved by our constantly evolving, co-curricular programs which are tailored to individual student’s needs and designed to empower pupils to think creatively, make good decisions, work collaboratively, problem-solve, and not be afraid to try something new.

Claremont McKenna College, one of the nation's top liberal arts colleges, prepares students to make a difference. The College educates students for thoughtful and productive lives and responsible leadership roles through its vital, real-world mission. Admission to the College is need-blind and emphasizes the demonstration of leadership accomplishments. The College attracts a student body that is broadly diverse and accomplished beyond the classroom. Claremont McKenna College is a highly selective, independent, coeducational, residential, undergraduate liberal arts college. Within the mutually supportive framework of The Claremont Colleges, its mission is to educate its students for thoughtful and productive lives and responsible leadership in business, government, and the professions, and to support faculty and student scholarship that contribute to intellectual vitality and the understanding of public policy issues. The College pursues this mission by providing a liberal arts education that emphasizes economics and political science, a professoriate that is dedicated to effective undergraduate teaching, a close student-teacher relationship that fosters critical inquiry, an active residential and intellectual environment that promotes responsible citizenship, and a program of research institutes and academic support that makes possible a faculty of teacher-scholars. At Claremont McKenna College, our students are dreamers and doers — high achievers who understand that learning informs impact, and that impact, in turn, inspires learning. We give them the tools they need for critical decision-making, the experiences they crave for intellectual and interpersonal development, and the community they seek for motivation, inspiration, and lifelong fulfillment. The research institutes and centers at Claremont McKenna College have one common goal: to provide CMC students with graduate-level research opportunities in conjunction with the College's distinguished faculty. In so doing, CMC students—as undergraduates—are afforded opportunities unparalleled at liberal arts colleges around the world. Located on a scenic, tree-lined residential campus 30 miles east of Los Angeles, Claremont McKenna is a member of The Claremont Colleges, a seven-college consortium modeled after Oxford University. CMC students choose from more than 2,200 classes and participate in co-curricular activities with 7,000 other students at Harvey Mudd College, Pitzer College, Pomona College, and Scripps College, as well as the Claremont Graduate University and Keck Graduate Institute. Students have the best of both worlds: the intimacy of a small residential college with small classes and a student-faculty ratio of nine to one, and the shared resources of a larger research university. Renowned for economics and government expertise, Claremont McKenna features accomplished scholars who are committed teachers in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences. Eleven world-class research institutes distinguish the school. Exceptionally high numbers of undergraduate students research with professors and get to know them as colleagues. The College emphasizes integrating leadership and innovation experience within institutes, student enterprises, on-campus fellowships, and sponsored off-campus internships. More than 90% of students complete internships, and nearly half study off-campus during their four years. The College's Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum brings world-class leaders, thinkers, artists, and visionaries to speak publicly, engage in small group discussions, and dine with students. Consistently one of the top NCAA Division III programs in the nation, the Claremont-Mudd-Scrippsathletic department is housed in the state-of-the-art Roberts Pavilion fitness and event center. CMC's Student Opportunity Center provides all students with advising, mentoring, and networking support tailored to each student's professional goals. Many Claremont McKenna graduates receive prestigious post-graduate fellowships and degrees in business, law, medicine, and many other fields. CMC alumni thrive in a wide range of careers, including consulting, education, financial services, government, public policy, media and entertainment, medicine, nonprofit leadership, science, and technology. Claremont McKenna excels nationally in post-graduate job placement and satisfaction, salaries, and career success. In September 1946, 86 students and seven faculty members opened a new "undergraduate school for men" in Claremont, California. Classes began even before a name was chosen. The school was incorporated as Claremont Men's College in the spring of 1947. CMC was the third Claremont College, following Pomona College and Scripps College. Many of the first students and the College's president George Benson, were returning World War II GIs. The new College's purpose was clear: to prepare future private and public enterprise leaders through a distinctive liberal arts curriculum. Rather than train students for particular jobs in government and industry, CMC sought to produce graduates able to apply lessons from business and government courses, but the study of history, philosophy, literature, the arts, and sciences. Current CMC initiatives include the Student Imperative, which has raised more than $100 million to support financial aid, provide focused research and internship experiences, and cultivate thoughtful and responsible leadership through residential and student life experiences. CMC has invested substantially in the sciences, computer science, and data science, recognizing the growing importance of those disciplines to CMC's emphasis on private and public sector leaders and all of the College's academic disciplines.
