Job description

We have an exciting opportunity for a Class Teacher to join us at Drapers' Pyrgo Priory School from January 2027.

Drapers'Pyrgo Priory is a small community school with a long history. Join our friendly, hard-working team to make the difference every day.

Situated in Harold Hill, our school has beautiful surroundings, a generous play area and carefully considered learning spaces. We provide a calm, purposeful learning environment where we use research-based systems to provide the best care for our pupils; setting high expectations and providing a range of rich opportunities to develop every child.

Drapers' Pyrgo Priory School is a member of a small Multi-Academy Trust on the edge of Havering and Essex borders with close links to M25, A12 and A127.

Our small family of schools work closely together to make a difference to children in the community with the help of our sponsors, The Drapers' Company and QMUL.

Visits to the school are encouraged and informal discussions available for potential candidates.

Safeguarding

Havering Schools are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The protection of our pupils from abuse is the responsibility of all staff within our schools, superseding any other considerations. Therefore Havering Schools comply with the Department for Education ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’ guidance.

It is an offence to apply for a post which involves engaging in regulated activity relevant to children if you are barred from doing so. Please be advised that, again in line with ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’, shortlisted candidates (who wish to accept an invite to interview) will be required to submit, prior to their interview, a self-declaration of their criminal record or information that would make them unsuitable to work with children. Upon submission of this information, online checks may be carried out.

This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974; the successful applicant will be expected to undertake an enhanced DBS disclosure check. Having a criminal record will not necessarily debar you from obtaining a position with the School.

Equal Opportunities

Havering Schools aim to promote and ensure equality of opportunity and equal treatment for all. We are committed to equal opportunities in employment regardless of gender, marital status, race, colour, nationality (including citizenship), ethnic or national origins, disabilities, age, sexual orientation, responsibility for dependants, religious or political affiliation and trade union activities. All matters related to employment are decided on the basis of qualifications, merit and business need.
