The school was founded in 1930 by the Middlesex County Council, and was one of a number of new schools built by the council between the wars in the rapidly developing outer suburbs of London. [5] Claremont is now a multi-specialist school. In 2001, it was designated a specialist school in performing arts. [6] In 2006, it was designated as having a second specialism in mathematics and computing. In 2012, the school gained academy status, joining many other local schools. In 2017 Claremont became part of a multi-academy trust called Chrysalis Multi-Academy Trust, or CMAT.
