Here are the dates for our Open Mornings:

Summer Term

• Friday, 24th April 2026 (Please click here to register)
• Friday, 5th June 2026

During our Open Mornings, you'll have the opportunity to explore our school in small groups, guided by a dedicated member of our senior leadership team. This is your chance to explore our campus, classrooms, and facilities up close, gaining insights into the educational journey we provide for our students.

Following the tour, we invite you to a brief Q&A session. This is the perfect time to ask any questions or seek clarification on anything you may be curious about. We value your engagement and want to make sure you have all the information you need.

Please note that, due to the overwhelming interest we receive for visits, we are unable to accommodate parent visits outside of these designated Open Morning times. We understand that parking can be a concern, so please utilise metered parking available outside the school. Unfortunately, we cannot offer visitor parking on site due to limited space.

We encourage you to arrive 5-10 minutes before the scheduled starting time to ensure a smooth and informative visit.

We will make the registration link available for the next open morning on the day following the conclusion of the current one.

We look forward to welcoming you and sharing the Clarendon School experience with you. Your journey towards a deeper understanding of our school starts here.

We consulted over 3000 stakeholders, including parents, staff, local councillors and MPs, Richmond 
Primary and Secondary Heads, Achieving for Children and other local community groups. Coombe Academy Trust carried out a similar consultation with their stakeholders, and the Department of Education is aware of the proposed merger and consultation. During November, face to face-to-face meetings were organised where feedback and concerns could be raised, and a consultation email address has been available to send in further comments. 

The consultation is now closed.

You have told us that you understand the reasons for the merger. 

You told us your biggest worries are about the specialisms, including Therapy, within our schools being taken away and if money and resources intended for our pupils would be used in mainstream schools. 

You have also given us your thoughts and wishes for how Auriga Schools can expand their offer for your children. 

We can reassure you that funding will only be spent on the support for that child or for the specialist provision it's intended for. This includes funding for Therapy. 

Please read the documents below for additional information and details.

Your feedback will be considered by both Trust Boards in their December meetings and if approved, the merger will happen on 1 September 2026.  Updates will be via email and on our websites.

Thank you for your participation.
