We are looking to recruit a passionate class teacher to join our supportive and experienced team. Our pupils are friendly, well-behaved and motivated to learn; our parents are supportive and engaged. Our staff are hardworking and dedicated to ensuring that the needs of our pupils are met through an age appropriate and purposeful curriculum. A love of creativity and learning through play is essential!
We are a three form Infant school in Gidea Park with a happy and nurturing ethos. Ofsted 2019 recognised the “school’s sense of community and commitment to developing a curriculum that engages the interests and needs of the children”. We are passionate for all to achieve their very best and will do all we can to support this. We have an experienced, supportive and stable staff team and are a RWInc school. School leaders provide high quality training and are mindful of staff wellbeing.
Although currently an Infant School, we are in the final stage of amalgamation with our neighbouring Junior School. This presents an opportunity for the right candidate to join us at a very exciting time.
