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. During this time, we 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 academically successful; it is child-led and pupil-first in everything they do. The Headteacher is passionate, lovely, and a real powerhouse to work with.

Some key highlights of the school include:

• Headteacher, SLT, and staff are super down to earth and friendly, working together for pupils' benefit.
• Focus on friendship and support - everyone has a partner or friend to talk to.
• Wellbeing events across the School/Trust.
• SLT is flexible and supportive, allowing teachers time to rest or reset.
• Strong focus on communication to support staff before burnout occurs.
• Marking parties where staff support each other's marking.
• Flexible PPA time with a full-time PPA teacher covering PPA.
• Additional resources like Speech and Language Therapists, School Counsellors, and more.
• Large outdoor space, nurture and sensory rooms, well-equipped classrooms.

It is preferred that the successful candidate is flexible in teaching across KS1 and KS2. The Headteacher values teachers' strengths and will assign year groups accordingly. This role starts in September 2025 and is a permanent position directly employed by the school. Interviews and lesson observations are ongoing until the May resignation deadline. Apply now to speak with James about this or other suitable roles. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted within 12 hours for a confidential chat.
