We are recruiting!
Not just for any ECT - but for a teacher at the very start of their career who already thinks deeply about learning, who cares about craft, and who wants to teach in a school where ambition and humanity sit side by side. A small, two-form entry multicultural primary school in East London (E1), proud of our community and unapologetically ambitious for every child. Our children and families represent a rich range of faiths, languages and cultures - and they work and learn together with warmth and respect. Housed in a striking Victorian building alongside thoughtfully designed modern teaching spaces (completed in 2017), our school blends heritage with forward-thinking practice. There is a real sense of purpose here - and yes, as Ofsted noted in February 2023, "the school buzzes with activity."
