Clovelly House School
Leicestershire, East Midlands · LE67 1AP
With around 20 pupils on roll, Clovelly House School is a notably small independent school in Leicestershire. Its scale is its defining feature: a cohort this size allows staff to know every child individually and tailor the day to a degree larger schools rarely match. The school is co-educational, non-denominational and takes pupils from age 11. Families drawn to an intimate, close-knit setting rather than a large institution will find this an unusual option in the East Midlands.
