History

In 1966 the old boys school in Kingsclere, which had been established in c. 1542 and rebuilt in 1820 and 1861 and become 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 from The Clere School, and held an official launch of the status on November 13, 2003 with Sir George Young.[3]

In 2010, year 11 pupils held a protest over study leave cancellation by locking themselves in the tennis courts. Their 'cage' remained isolated all afternoon, and the event made local news.[4]
