We have partnered with this Hackney-based Primary School for the past 12 months, visiting twice and meeting the Headteacher (who is fantastic), SLT, support staff, and pupils.

Some key highlights of the school include:

• Friendly and down-to-earth staff working together for pupils' benefit
• Focus on peer support - staff have a partner or friend at school for support
• Wellbeing events across the School / Trust
• SLT flexible in supporting staff to rest or reset when needed
• Open communication to support staff before burnout occurs
• Marking parties where staff support each other in marking
• Flexible PPA time with a dedicated PPA teacher
• Speech and Language Therapist (4 days/week), School Counsellor (full-time for staff), and more
• Large outdoor spaces, nurture and sensory rooms, well-equipped classrooms

The Headteacher prefers a Primary Teacher who is flexible across KS1 and KS2, with the opportunity to work in the best-fit year group based on your strengths and preferences.

This role starts in September 2025, with a permanent contract directly with the school. Interviews and lesson observations are available from now until the May resignation deadline. We encourage you to apply and discuss this opportunity with James, or explore other suitable roles.
