We are a co-educational, 11-18 vertically integrated comprehensive school offering an inspirational learning environment for over 1,250 students. Nestled in the Swiss Valley of Clevedon, we enjoy the benefits of extensive playing fields, woodland areas, a wide range of sports facilities coupled with a mix of older and modern buildings meaning that we are well equipped to offer an outstanding education.

Clevedon School puts students at the centre of everything we do. This is a school that embraces all our students have to offer and provides them with the opportunities and responsibility to take a role leading the school through the House System and our unique Subject Senate and Pastoral Parliament.  All students are educated in the art of leadership so they can make a positive contribution to school life.  Indeed, our high expectations are evidenced in the national recognition we regularly receive for our achievements in and out of the classroom.

Our school is based upon traditional values with a forward thinking vision.  Every member of our school community is reminded daily of our key principles : Be Kind. Be Brilliant.  It’s known as ‘The Clevedon Way’ and helps create that crucial sense of belonging to both one’s House and the wider school community.  It is hardly surprising therefore that students and staff alike have immense pride for their school.

At Clevedon School, we believe all our students have the potential to achieve anything they aim for in life. We provide a stimulating curriculum experience, and a culture of aspiration and ambition by developing leadership of self, others and the wider community. Every member of our community is encouraged to 'belong' through a sense of contribution, responsibility, ownership and confidence which is seen in the pride our students have for their school.

We welcome parents who would like to bring their child for a tour of the school to visit classrooms and experience our school for themselves.

We have a reputation for our student-focused and clearly targeted learning initiatives. We encourage robust, independent thinking and facilitate students to understand how they think and learn best.

At Clevedon we understand that it is not solely academic achievements that develop young people and prepares them for their future. We offer a wide range of opportunities for students to develop themselves, their skills and abilities. Our extensive extra-curricular programme offers something for everyone, from sport and dance to the media team covering all school events, to arts and crafts.
