St Francis de Sales is seeking a class teacher for September 2022 to cover maternity leave. 

We want you to come and teach in our amazing school where we work hard to improve the life chances of every child. We are looking for teachers who have a genuine desire to make a difference and who can generate opportunities for creative learning. 

Make sure you think hard before you apply however, because teaching at St Francis – a school in the heart of Tottenham – will not be for everyone. You must be truly committed to making a difference in the lives of children who are likely to have come from a background of disadvantage.  

Having said that, St Francis de Sales has a team of friendly, devoted staff who have already established excellent behaviour and high expectations throughout the school as well as a culture of fun and innovative learning. It’s no good applying if you have no sense of humour or you lack passion; we want a positive, proactive person with character and someone who is not afraid to be a bit maverick with ideas that will excite and engage our children. 

Our teachers are willing to take risks and try new, practical approaches to teaching and learning and not stick to a plan. They are allowed to teach what they love and what they know the children love and they have been given the autonomy to think outside of the box and make decisions for themselves.  We will consider someone with experience in EYFS, KS1 or KS2. Your previous experience doesn’t really matter because our staff are so brilliant that they will support you whatever your experience might be – so apply today if you fancy a change and challenge. 

We are happy to develop someone into the role - we have great support and CPD whatever stage of your career you are at.  Have a look at our website: www.sfds.haringey.sch.uk , contact the school, and come and visit us for a look around. We are looking forward to meeting you. 

Visits to the school from ECTs, experienced teachers and all faiths are warmly welcomed. 

For an application pack or to book a tour, please contact Cezette Loughran -sbm@sfds.haringey.sch.uk
