Senior School Boarding & Day Day Pupils
Day Pupils
Day pupils share every aspect of school life with the boarders and receive every bit as much of care and attention from the house staff team. They are fully integrated into the house structure – we do not have separate day houses at Clayesmore. During years 10 and 11, pastoral care for day boys becomes the responsibility of the Senior Tutor to Day Boys. All day pupils are more than welcome to join in with House activities and events in the evenings and at weekends.
The School day begins at 8.15 am and lasts until 5.30 pm Monday to Friday with a full programme of lessons, sports and activities, and from 8.15 am until 4.00 pm on Saturdays.
In order to help day pupils get to school, Clayesmore operates a fleet of its own mini-buses serving an extensive area including the major conurbations of Bournemouth, Poole, Dorchester, and Salisbury as well as the many outlying villages and the towns of Blandford and Shaftesbury.
