CLAIRES COURT SCHOOLS – Independent Day Schools in Maidenhead
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.

Yet another season when a Ridgeway boy, this time Jake Jenkins, is selected to play in the Southern Prep Schools’ Barbarians against the North at Rugby School this Sunday (quite a lot of rugby around this week-end!).

Three teams from Claires Court entered the Rotary Youth Speaks competition for Maidenhead which took place last Friday.

Hats off to pupils for Haiti!
# On 08/02/2010 12:13
Pupils across the sites have continued with their fund raising for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti, and have been wildly successful. This week Ridgeway boys have raised £778.15 and are hoping to raise further funds with a sponsored fancy dress football match and a collect at the final of Ridgeway’s Got Talent. College seniors have raised £82.59 with a lion raffle as well as two cake sales raising £176.43. Thursday lunch time saw a Swimathon take place and we are waiting keenly to hear the total raised. And so the efforts continue ...
Well done to Claires Court U14A Team in the County Cup semi Final
# On 31/01/2010 13:53
An exciting match took place against Reading Blue Coat in the U14 Rugby County Cup semi-final. Some very even playing and a fine solo try from Dawa Balogun in the first half gave Claires Court the lead but Reading Blue Coat levelled. The final ten minutes were very tense and the final score of 5-5 gave a draw. The away team rule took Claires Court through to the final which will probably take place at the end of February. Well done and we look forward to an exciting final!
