Claremont is a fully co-educational School standing in 100 acres of beautiful Sussex countryside which includes a swimming pool and tennis courts and a recently constructed theatre and Nursery School. A Pre-preparatory and Nursery school are separately housed but share the main school's facilities. Six squash courts and a riding stable are within easy reach. Claremont enjoys a high academic and athletics reputation. Over the past five years scholarships have been won to Ardingly, Benenden, Charterhouse, Christs Hospital, Cranleigh, Dover, Eastbourne, Epsom, Eton, Lancing, Millfield, Radley, Seaford, Stowe, Tonbridge and Winchester. These include awards for Art and Music, two subjects which play an important part in School life. Both the pre-prep and the main school regularly stage major productions. A variety of languages is taught. The school spares no effort in discovering the talent of each individual child and a fully qualified and dedicated staff organise many visits locally and abroad. A new Sports Hall has just been completed to enable indoor games and activities to flourish. All sports are played.
The School was founded in 1925 in Hove and moved to Baldslow Place in 1946.
