A DIFFERENT KIND OF SCHOOL
Not just a place your child attends —
a place they are truly known.
Clare House School is a not-for-profit, community-focused independent school where your child is known as an individual.
A small school, with experienced teachers and a rich curriculum — from Forest School to specialist subjects — enables every child to thrive. Our personalised approaches to learning support your child to grow in confidence, curiosity and capability.
MEET OUR HEAD OF SCHOOL

Sally Davis joins Clare House School as Executive Head, bringing warmth, clarity and exceptional experience to every family in our community.
Before joining us, Sally spent 33 years at Howell’s School Llandaff — including 17 years as Head of School. Families quickly feel her gift for connection. Children feel her genuine interest in who they are and who they can become.
“I know what truly transforms a child’s experience: excellent teaching, strong relationships and a community that believes in them. Clare House School will offer all three from day one.”
