      I teach because there is a deep joy in witnessing a child understand something for the first time, achieve what they never thought possible, and discover their potential to make a positive impact on the world.

    • Portrait of Louise McNerney
      “I love creating the conditions for curious minds to question, explore, take intellectual risks and discover what they are capable of. For me, gifted education is about more than extending learning; it is about truly knowing each child, recognising their unique strengths and needs, and ensuring they feel both challenged and understood. When we nurture curiosity and make space for deep thinking, we help every learner realise their potential.”

      Louise McNerney
      Learning Enrichment Teacher

    At Claremont, every educator knows every child.

    These are the people who will spend every day with your child, who will remember what they were struggling with last term, and who will still recall their name years after they’ve left. Come see what a difference being known can make.
