Our next Open Morning will be announced soon.

However at St. Clare's, every day is an Open Day! We would be delighted to welcome you to visit at a time to suit you. Our Admissions Office is open every day from 9-3 during the summer holidays.

Individual appointments offer you the opportunity to take a private tour of the school and its grounds, meet our staff and pupils and see for yourself why our school is such a special place.

Founded in 1938, we are a small, friendly independent school set in 11 1/2 acres of  beautiful grounds in the historic village of Newton, on the outskirts of Porthcawl and only a short distance from the Glamorgan Heritage Coast and the Vale of Glamorgan. We are ideally situated for families as far west as Neath and as far east as Cowbridge and its surrounding villages. Come and discover why St. Clare’s is such a special place.

GCSE Results

St. Clare’s School celebrated excellent GCSE results! St Clare’s has been delivering the English curriculum for GCSE examinations and not the Welsh which means that St Clare’s students sat the new reformed GCSEs in English Language, English Literature and Maths this summer. The new GCSEs will ensure that students leave school with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the 21st century. They cover more challenging content and are designed to match standards in the strongest performing education systems elsewhere in the world.

A-Level Results

St Clare's Sixth Form students celebrated another year of excellent A Level results, with 100% pass rate for the fourth year running and 34% at A* or A grades. Read more here. 

Work on our brand new Sixth Form Centre is currently underway this summer and we can't wait to show you round. With improved technology and state of the art furniture, it's going to be awesome! 

At St Clare's Sixth Form we offer a unique 10 step programme to help students transition from GCSE into a world of more independent learning at A-Level. The programme is designed to help students learn how to make the most of their study time, giving them access to individual learning tools and a wide range of pastoral support to ensure that this crucial two years of study is a great success.

We are justifiably proud of our 100% pass rate at A-Level every year since 2014 and 100% of students went to university including many in the Russell Group (or gap year).
