Senior School ‘Top of the
Class’ in GCSE League Tables
Claremont Senior School in Bodiam has been ranked first
amongst all local secondary schools in the Rother District
area and third overall in East Sussex.
The school, which is situated in the village of
Bodiam, was founded in September 2011
and these results, which were celebrated last
August, were achieved by the first ever cohort
of students that the school has taken through
GCSE’s.
79% of all students achieved five, or more,
A*’s to C grade, including English and Maths.
A highly impressive 49% of the school’s
students achieved the EBAC which means
they achieved an A* to C grade in English,
Maths, Science, a Modern Foreign Language
and Humanity subject. This statistic ranks
Claremont as second in the whole of East
Sussex.
When asked about the results, the
Headmaster, Giles Perrin said: “We are
absolutely delighted to achieve such
fantastic results at our first time of asking. It
is a testament to the wonderful atmosphere

which exists at the school. We are highly
academically ambitious for all our students
and that ambition has been translated
into outstanding results. We expect to
now go from strength to strength and this
latest success has given the whole school
community tremendous confidence.”
Since the school opened its doors in 2011,
Claremont has transformed the site of the old
Bodiam Manor Prep School, through various
renovation and building works, including
a new Sports Hall; Sixth Form Centre;
Photography Centre; additional laboratories
and a fantastic 220-seat Theatre.
Next year the school’s roll will top 200. There
is little doubt that, with these outstanding
examination results behind them, Claremont
has a very bright future.
