A rich heritage, a bright future.

Founded in 1896 by Lex Devine — a visionary ahead of his time — Clayesmore was built on the belief that education should nurture the whole person. Not just the scholar, but the artist, the athlete, the leader, the friend.

Today, that founding ethos remains at our heart. Set within 62 acres of Dorset countryside, we offer an all-through journey from Nursery to Sixth Form, rooted in values that endure and an outlook that's unmistakably modern.
