History

In 1966 the old boys school in Kingsclere, which had been established in c. 1542 and rebuilt in 1820 and 1861 and became the Secondary Modern School, moved to Burghclere, becoming The Clere School.[1] Among the school equipment taken from Kingsclere to Burghclere was a 1934 "Y" Model Ford, which was used outside school hours in the playground by boys learning to drive.[2]

It gained Specialist Technology College status in September 2003, changed its name to The Clere School and Technology College, and held an official launch of the status on November 13, 2003 with Sir George Young.[3] With the ending of the Specialist Schools programme in 2013 the school reverted to its former name.

Notable former pupils

Jamie Hince, guitarist with The Kills and husband to Kate Moss, attended from 1980-1985.
