Job description

Class Teacher (KS1 or KS2) | Primary School | Waltham Forest | September 2025

Q - Are you a qualified Class Teacher who is struggling with work-life balance?

Q - Or maybe your current Headteacher and SLT aren't as supportive as you'd like?

If so, James at EdEx may have the perfect Class Teacher vacancy for September for you!

We have worked with this Waltham Forest based Primary School for the last 12 months. In that time, we have visited the school twice, meeting the Headteacher (who is FABULOUS), the SLT, support staff, and pupils.

The Headteacher was part of the "founding family" over 8 years ago; since then, she has taken the school from strength to strength. This school isn't just uber successful academically; it is child-led and pupil-first in everything they do. The Headteacher is simply wonderful to work with—passionate, lovely, and just a real powerhouse.

Some key highlights of the school below:

• Headteacher, SLT, and ALL Staff are super down to earth and friendly, all working together for pupils.
• Friend focus - Everyone has a partner/friend at the school that they can talk to at any given time.
• Wellbeing events across the School/Trust.
• SLT will flex in when teachers need time to rest or reset.
• Big focus on communication - they would rather ensure you are supported before you become burnt out or start struggling; this way they can act quicker!
• Marking parties - where other people mark each other's books/support one another.
• Flexible PPA Time with a full-time PPA Teacher covering PPA.
• Speech and Language Therapist (4 days a week), School Counsellor (for staff 5 days a week), and so much more!
• Large outdoor space, nurture and sensory rooms with well-equipped classrooms and resources.

Ideally, the Headteacher is looking for a Class Teacher who is flexible teaching across KS1 and KS2. She likes to see teachers in action and then chat with you to find the best fitting year group based on your strengths and weaknesses as a teacher and each particular class/year group.

This Class Teacher role is for a September 2025 start, directly employed by the school on a permanent contract. Interviews and lesson observations can be held from now till the May resignation deadline, but we urge you to apply to chat to James about this school or others that may suit your skillset.

If you like the sound of this Class Teacher vacancy in the London borough of Waltham Forest, then apply today with your latest CV attached, and James will be in touch with any shortlisted Class Teachers within 12 hours to arrange a confidential and friendly initial chat on the phone.
