The school has an outstanding reputation and has a highly skilled, dedicated and talented staff team who work together to ensure all students experience an engaging curriculum tailored to meet their individual needs.

Every student is treated as an individual while being encouraged to be an active and positive member of the school community and a global citizen. Clare Mount recognise that happy and motivated students will be successful students. As a result there is a safe, caring and supportive ethos that enables their students to be happy at school and achieve well in their learning.

Clare Mount thrives on its success as a Specialist Sports College; the promotion of a healthy lifestyle and the encouragement of participation in a full range of activities support the learning of all our students across all subject areas.

Our whole school community is delighted. The Sunshine Coach will enable every student whatever their need to access important trips and visits without the need for specialist coaches or taxis. Out of school learning is an important part of the curriculum and helps to develop the pupils' confidence and social skills. The coach is used on a regular basis to access a whole array of important activities including sports events, swimming, science and history trips, theatre visits, college courses and work placements to name but a few.
