Claremont Fan Court School is a vibrant, independent, gently selective, co-educational day school, located in Surrey for pupils aged 2 to 18.

All this while still maintaining our nurturing, community appeal. 

We know from staff and pupils, past and present, that Claremont is a special place. The school has a strong sense of community, a family feel and a welcoming, respectful atmosphere. The successful applicant can expect a salary that fully reflects their expertise and contribution, plus an excellent package of benefits.
