What the school says...
Claremont Fan Court School is a thriving co-educational independent school for children aged 2½ to 18 set within 100 acres of beautiful grounds in Esher.
Our wonderful nursery with forest school feeds into the outstanding Pre-Prep and Prep School. The Senior School has recently seen a 40% surge in applications, most notably amongst girls and the school’s newly opened cutting-edge science and technology building has allowed for the school to increase its capacity whilst maintaining excellent teaching and learning without increasing class sizes.
