Job overview
We are looking for an enthusiastic and passionate teacher of Science for January 2025. This is initially a fixed term position for two terms, with the potential to become permanent. The role is full-time but for an exceptional candidate, part-time hours would be considered.
The successful candidate will be confident in teaching across all three Sciences up to GCSE level, but an ability to teach A level would be an advantage. The Science department aims to encourage pupils to achieve high standards and applicants will need to demonstrate strong subject knowledge, contagious enthusiasm for their subject and an effective, nurturing teaching style.
This position would suit an experienced teacher looking for a new challenge or an ECT to whom excellent support will be given.
Sciences are taught in the Sir Sydney Camm building; a state-of-the-art facility which houses nine purpose-built science labs and dedicated preparation rooms for each subject. The successful candidate will join a friendly and welcoming department, supported by a strong team of science technicians
We offer a competitive salary and all the benefits of working in a thriving independent school including a generous contributory pension, life assurance, complimentary lunches during term time, onsite parking and a cycle to work scheme.

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’.
