Joining The Senior School

Life After Primary School - Coming to St Clare's

It's never too early to start thinking about which Secondary School to send your son or daughter.  The first question to answer is what matters the most to you?  Is it academic results? Extra-curricular opportunities? Class sizes? Pastoral care? Sporting success? Music results?

There are many schools in the Bridgend & Vale of Glamorgan areas that could tick one or two of those boxes, but how about a school which does all of this, and more?

Your son or daughter could join a school with:

  • An enviable record in GCSE exam success (this year, 100% of pupils achieved at least five A*-C grades whilst 51% got at least one A or A*).
  • No entrance examinations - our top grades are attributable to the highest quality of teaching rather than pre-selecting our pupils based on academic ability.
  • A supportive environment which gives pupils the best chances in life.
  • A focus on key subjects including Separate Sciences; Languages; Humanities and Mathematics
  • A range of extra-curricular opportunities including work experience, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, Young Enterprise, charity fundraising, engineering, debating and much much more.
  • The chance to try a selection of musical instruments and take part in choirs, bands and orchestras.
  • A variety of sports to participate in, and a history of performing well in local and regional competitions.
  • Small class sizes which ensure your child gets all the attention they need and deserve.

Whilst most of our pupils start with the Senior School in Year 7, we are happy to take children at any age.  If your child is struggling in their current school, you feel they aren't being challenged enough, or just that the School isn't the right environment for them, we'd love to invite you to visit our School and see the difference.

Visit our Open Afternoon on the 24th February; book a private tour at a time and date to suit you; arrange a taster day for your child; call us for a chat on 01656 789963, or request a Prospectus.

We look forward to hearing from you!
