Prep

Prep


We welcome applications to Clayesmore Prep throughout the year and into different year groups.

Children swiftly become part of a solid friendship group and quickly assimilate to the Prep routines. They feel at home in no time at all, whether they join our day or boarding community and we love seeing the happy faces of our new pupils as they participate in lessons and activities throughout the day.

  • test
We ask pupils joining Year 6 and above to undertake assessment tests so that we are able to gauge the level at which they are working. These assessments should not cause children concern and can't be prepared for, so please don't let your children worry about these during the admissions process.

You can find out more about Prep admissions by clicking on the menu items on the bar to the right.

If you have any questions or want to find out more, then please contact admissions@clayesmore.com we will be very happy to help.
