from Nursery to Sixth Form
Through the kind help of a former member of staff, Robert Leder, Claires Court is supporting 'Charity Pearl The Gambia' in its efforts to make substantial improvements to day to day life in the Brufut area of The Gambia.
Charity Pearl The Gambia is an organisation that has been helping families and children from a disadvantaged background in the Brufut area of The Gambia since 2012.

Claires Court has already helped fund the building of the Pearl Education Centre, along with the digging of a borehole and well to provide clean water to the community in Brufut.
