Job overview
We are looking to appoint an additional teacher of Economics to join this increasingly popular department. The number of students studying economics has grown enormously and we are looking for an enthusiastic economist to help drive the department forward.
This role could suit an experienced teacher looking for a new challenge or an early career teacher (ECT) or unqualified teacher (UQT); ), the one thing you will have in common is a strong economics background. The ability to teach business would be an advantage but is not essential.
If you are looking to begin your career in teaching, Claremont Fan Court School has a strong reputation for valuing and supporting early career teachers. First-class support will be provided by your ECT mentor and line manager, alongside the ECT co-ordinator and assessor, as you complete your two-year induction programme.
For trainee graduate teachers, support is provided by the trainee teacher co-ordinator, who will provide effective coaching and mentoring, with the possibility of graduates undertaking their PGCE qualification through the school.
A willingness to contribute to the co-curricular and pastoral life of the school is also required.
In return, you can expect all the benefits of a thriving independent school: a competitive and progressive salary, pension, professional development, laptop, cycle scheme, lunches in term time and on-site parking.

Claremont Fan Court School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the school is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.

About Claremont Fan Court School
We are a co-educational School, for children from 2½ to 18 years, situated just outside Esher, Surrey. The School is set in the historic landscaped grounds of the Claremont Estate.
Claremont Fan Court School was founded on a Christian ethos and we welcome children from all faiths and from none. We develop in our pupils the intellectual, cultural, physical and spiritual qualities that children must possess in their pursuit of excellence. Our ethos recognises, cares for, and values the potential of every pupil such that they can do more than they think is possible.
Vision and values
Character Education is at the heart of our educational programme at Claremont Fan Court School. Growth in right-thinking and acting opens the way to a more truthful and expansive way of looking at oneself and others, providing a new perspective on perceived limitations and capabilities. Claremont Fan Court School aims to recognise, care for and value the potential of every student, fostering their love of learning and supporting them to high academic achievement, as well as furthering their education in sporting and cultural activities.
We have developed a unique programme for teaching character. This programme focuses specifically on a set of core values and recognises that developing these requires a comprehensive educational approach. A new character quality is introduced each month. The quality is used within assemblies, discussions, activities and curriculum work.
Our extensive co-curricular programme, offering over 60 co-curricular opportunities, enables every pupil to experience activities beyond the classroom in order to tap broader interests and extend talents.
The ISI Report January 2017 noted that: ‘Pupils show pride in their achievements in curricular and co-curricular activities . . . Parents and pupils agreed that these opportunities enhance pupil achievement’.
