Job description

Primary Teacher KS1 or KS2 Supportive, Friendly & Nurturing School Waltham Forest September 2025

Q - Are you a qualified Primary Teacher seeking a better work-life balance?

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

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

We have collaborated with this Waltham Forest-based Primary School for the past 12 months, during which we have visited twice and met the Headteacher (who is fabulous), the SLT, support staff, and pupils.

The Headteacher was part of the "founding family" over 8 years ago and has since led the school to ongoing success. This school is not only academically excellent but also child-led, prioritizing pupils' well-being in all aspects. The Headteacher is passionate, approachable, and a true leader.

Key highlights of the school include:

• Headteacher, SLT, and staff are friendly, approachable, and work collaboratively for pupils' benefit
• Focus on friendship and support - each staff member has a partner or friend at the school to talk to
• Wellbeing events across the School/Trust
• SLT supports teachers needing time to rest or reset
• Strong emphasis on communication to support staff before burnout occurs
• Marking parties - staff support each other by marking books together
• Flexible PPA time with a dedicated PPA teacher
• Additional support: Speech and Language Therapist (4 days/week), School Counsellor (full-time), and more
• Large outdoor spaces, nurture and sensory rooms, well-equipped classrooms, and resources

The Headteacher is looking for a Primary Teacher who is flexible to teach across KS1 and KS2. She values teachers' strengths and prefers to assign year groups accordingly after observing their teaching in action.

This Primary Teacher (KS1 or KS2) role starts in September 2025 and is a permanent position directly with the school. Interviews and lesson observations are available from now until the May resignation deadline. We encourage you to apply and speak with James about this or other suitable schools.
