Our grateful thanks to all those who have generously given their time or expertise to the School in 2015-16, we are so fortunate to have wonderfully supportive and dynamic parent bodies; the Friends of Clayesmore in the Senior School and the Prep School Parents’ Association; the wisdom of our school Governing Council; the hard working committees of the Clayesmore Society and Old Clayesmorian Society, and the trustees of the Spinney Memorial Trust, all of whom contribute to the wider Clayesmore community. We also take this opportunity to thank all those who have given their time to deliver talks and lectures, provided careers advice or placements, or, through their altruism, supported the work of the school.
