CLAREMONT LADIES’ SCHOOL,
CLIFTONVILLE, MARGATE Principal Mrs James Shaw Claremont possesses the advantage of being situated on the High Cliffs, close to the Sea, the healthiest part of Margate, which is universally allowed to be one of the most salubrious places in England. Every attention is paid to the welfare, health and general improvement of the Pupils, who enjoy all the comforts of home and kind treatment whilst acquiring a thorough education. Delicate girls receive special care, and are not necessarily compelled to take part in all the work of the School. The education is thorough in every branch, and specially adapted to the requirements of the present day. Pupils have obtained many honours and distinctions in the Universities Local Examinations, Colleges of Preceptors, the Associated Board of the Royal Academy of Music and the Royal College of Music, Trinity College, London, and the South Kensington School of Art. The House is large and most commodious, with comfortable bedrooms containing a separate bed for each pupil. The Class rooms are well furnished and airy. A superior and generous cuisine is provided. Sanitation is perfect, and is frequently inspected. The domestic arrangements are superintended by a thoroughly experienced Lady Housekeeper. Large Recreation Grounds adjoin the School and face the Sea. There are several tennis courts, as well as see-saws, a swing, etc., for the juniors, and small gardens for the pupils’ own cultivation. |

I can't sleep when sharing a bed with ANYONE. I don't know how I'm going to manage when I'm in a relationship. |

I must say that these Headmistresses seem a lot better than the Rev. Carus Wilson. |

Maybe you'll end up with someone like my husband who has a habit of spending all night on the internet and then comes to bed about the time I'm getting up! Liz |
