Published in July 2012, Clayesmore: a Celebration will be a lavishly illustrated portrait of Clayesmore past and present, with a vision of how it will continue to evolve. Much more than simply a history, the book will include personal accounts, anecdotes, memories and memorabilia from Clayesmorians of every vintage to offer a vivid panorama of all aspects of school life, from teaching to arts and drama, from sports and outdoor activities to clubs and societies, and a due reflection of the beauty of its surroundings.

As well as a glance at the early years of the school's existence - covering moves from Enfield to Pangbourne and then on to Winchester, before the final move to Dorset in the early 1930s - the book will also capture the various key personalities who have contributed so richly to the Clayesmore story over many years.
"We've already received many wonderful contributions, but please do also consider subscribing in advance of publication, which is a wonderful way of becoming part of this exciting project and provides you with an opportunity to reinforce your links with the school. It is an honour and a privilege to preside over such an exciting and uplifting project, and I would love you to join our celebration."
Martin Cooke, Headmaster
