Clarendon House Grammar School, or simply "Clarendon" is a grammar school for girls in Ramsgate, Kent,[1][2] opened in 1905.[3] The school was granted specialist language school status in September 2004.[4]

Relations with Chatham House

It is often partnered with its "brother school", Chatham House Grammar School, the equivalent boys' school, for activities such as instrumental bands, choirs, an annual theatre production and field trips.

Clarendon allows both boys and girls to enter in the sixth form, as does Chatham House. Due to the close proximity of the schools (within ten minutes walk of each other) some AS and A level subjects are taught either jointly by the two schools (such as Music and Music Technology) or by one of the school (for example, Drama is taught at Clarendon, but is available for Chatham House students, while Sport science is taught at Chatham House, but is available for Clarendon House students).
