Claremont High School is a co-educational, secondary school and sixth form located in Kenton, in the London Borough of Brent, United Kingdom.[2] The headteacher is Ms Nicola Hyde-Boughey. The school has been an academy since 1 April 2011.
For the school year 2022/23 there were 1,700 pupils on the roll.[3]
The school was founded in 1930 by the Middlesex County Council, and was one of a number of new schools built by the council between the wars in the rapidly developing outer suburbs of London.[4] Claremont is now a multi-specialist school. In 2001, it was designated a specialist school in performing arts.[5] In 2006, it was designated as having a second specialism in maths and computing. In 2012, the school gained academy status, joining many other local schools. In 2017 Claremont became part of a multi-academy trust called Chrysalis Multi-Academy Trust, or CMAT.
Former Nottingham Forest and England player Stuart Pearce attended Claremont High School in the 1970s.[6]
