Claremont School's Senior School and Sixth Form occupies the Bodiam site in the East Sussex countryside, close to the medieval Bodiam Castle and roughly 15 km north of the school's Prep campus in St Leonards-on-Sea. Claremont traces its origins to 1925, when it opened in Hove with just a few pupils; it later moved to St Leonards, became fully co-educational in 1982, opened the Bodiam senior site in 2011 and joined the International Schools Partnership (ISP) in 2018. The senior campus teaches boys and girls from Year 9 to Year 13 (about 13 to 18 years old) and the school reports a senior community of more than 310 pupils. Teaching follows an enhanced British curriculum leading to GCSEs at the end of Year 11 and to A Levels, BTECs and the Extended Project Qualification in the Sixth Form, which has its own study centre. Claremont describes itself as a non-selective school and takes both day pupils and weekly or full boarders, who live in Clyde House and Pyke House; its boarding provision has been graded Outstanding by Ofsted. Distinctive features include an international football academy led by coaches with professional-club experience, a performing arts department that has won national awards and prepares pupils for LAMDA and ABRSM qualifications, an equestrian pathway, a strong English as an Additional Language department for overseas students, and access to ISP global programmes such as Model United Nations, filmmaking and cultural exchanges.
