Clarendon School for Girls

It moved three times: first to Kinmel Hall near Abergele in Denbighshire in 1948 and then to Haynes Park in Bedfordshire in 1976 before merging with Monkton Combe School, near Bath, Somerset in 1992.

[1] Clarendon School was established in a private house in North Malvern, Worcestershire in 1898 by Miss Amy Flint (1869-1941), assisted by her sisters Mary, Annie and Kate.

During World War II, numbers grew to such an extent that new, larger premises had to be found.

Kinmel Hall, Abergele in Denbighshire was selected to house Clarendon School, with Sir John Laing stepping in to provide support.

[3] The school moved from Malvern to Abergele in twenty Pickfords removal lorries in April 1948 - its fiftieth anniversary year.
