Co-ordinated education for girls and boys from 3 to 18 years Co-ordinated education means that boys and girls are educated separately but meet together with such activities as sailing, rowing, performing arts as well as day trips and field study courses – the best of both worlds! Our Nursery and Sixth Form are co-ed whilst the 4 to 16 year olds are educated separately. We achieve outstanding results at all levels throughout the School with an intake that is non-selective – entry is by report from previous school and interview with the Head. We aim to educate the whole child, treating each boy or girl as an individual and ensuring they achieve their maximum potential – sometimes far beyond what they believed they were capable of achieving. Not only are our results excellent, we offer a school day that is brimming with opportunity and variety – both inside the classroom and out.

The pupils had shown a keen interest in the Trooping of the Colour and wanted to learn more about the ceremonial uniform of the Queens Own Lifeguards, Mounted Regiment of the Household Cavalry. CoH Stay explained to the boys how his uniform, although ceremonial today, was part of a soldier's key equipment in battle. His buff belt which goes across the chest is a spare girth for the horse's saddle and the box worn on the back of the solider is used to store ammunition.Claires Court Art and Photography hits the High Street# On 19/07/2010 12:38 Watch this website for full details of our exhibition of art and photography, all on display in the High Street in Maidenhead.Ridgeway Concert and Prize Giving# On 19/07/2010 12:38 Ridgeway welcomed John Rayer, Head of Claires Court as their Special Guest.

Our team consisted of Jack Ward with George Saunders, Charlie Pritchard with Sam Clark and Jordan Flynn with George Goss. The object was to get as many of one's own boats at the front of the fleet to win a round. Six other teams competed all sailing against each other.The programme finished with an individual race for all the competitors and this was divided up into two heats followed by the final, which saw Jack Ward and George Saunders sail through the fleet after a poor start to take first place by four seconds. So a very satisfying day's sailing and a clean sweep for the School! Flying high with the Red Arrows# On 13/07/2010 17:23  We would like to share with those of you who know our ex-pupil, Liz Tunley, her recent and very exciting experience, flying with the Red Arrows!!! Her full report will undoubtedly feature in a future Court Circular but, to explain, this opportunity was all part of the Cadet 150 celebrations to mark 150 years of the Cadet Movement. On 6 July, there was a march by Cadets down The Mall followed by a Garden Party at Buckingham Palace, during which the Red Arrows performed a fly past. Liz was one of only seven cadets (from a group of 20 ‘hopefuls’ chosen from the three cadet services) to actually be selected. It is worth noting that Liz has a fear of flying, not that you would know from seeing the photo!!
