Selwyn Primary School

Selwyn is a happy and successful school located in Plaistow, East London. We are at the heart of this culturally rich community where we are able to offer purposeful and exciting learning opportunities for all.  Everyone within our learning community has high aspirations and we work hard to make learning fun and relevant to each individual.

We all have high expectations of behaviour and this has created a wonderfully positive and calm environment where everyone is respected and treated fairly.  This emphasis on a happy, calm and focused learning environment ensures that our children can progress and achieve their potential.

Our broad and balanced curriculum, is designed to engender a love of learning that our children will take to the next stage of their education.

Our school is part of Newham Community Learning, which exists in order to provide an excellent education for all young people in our community.  We are the only Trust to offer all-through provision from ages 2 - 16 within a single family of schools in Newham. Across our two primary and four secondary schools, all located in the west of the borough, we educate over 5,400 local children and young people, and employ a team of  close to 700 members of staff, the vast majority of whom live locally.

To view opportunities at all our schools, please see our Trust page on TES.

Train with us - we are delighted to partner with Teach First to deliver our School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) programme.  Teach First is a national charity that develops and supports teachers and leaders who are determined to make a difference where it is needed the most. As a training partner, we will be working with Teach First to deliver this one year teacher training programme, which enables participants to train and develop skills in the classroom.  It is ideal for people who are eager to learn on the job and make a difference in their community from day one.  Our Newham Community Learning SCITT Booklet  has further information; please email traintoteach@ncltrust.net to find out more.  Please note that this programme is currently aimed at secondary teaching staff.
