KS2 Class teacher for January at a very friendly ‘village school’ in Central London

We are a village school in the heart of Central London.

We treat teachers with respect and invest in your career.

• We employ three teachers for every two classes in each year group. Your English and Maths classes are just 15-20 children, much smaller than in most schools. It’s much better that way!
• We invest in your career development and on-the-job training – we want you to do well here.

Post: Class teacher for January 2024

Shortlist will take place as soon as a suitable candidate has applied.

Early Career Teachers are not able to apply for this positon,

Salary: main pay range, according to experience (£34,502 to £44,756) 

We respect teachers: Your PPA is collaborative with your year group team. We work with good quality partners (we are a long-term flagship school for 2022 BETT award winning Literacy Tree). You’ll be supported by highly cooperative colleagues and we encourage new ideas.

We have great facilities: a swimming pool, new computer suite, fully-equipped science lab and MUGA pitch. Classrooms are double-sized with our trademark ‘Learning Lounges’ attached (generously stocked class library/sofas/laptops). We can offer temporary or longer term accommodation here in a lovely schoolhouse at very reduced rent for staff members!

Families choose us for our excellent results, excellent facilities and excellent care: we are inclusive and proudly diverse. Our community is very supportive; we are on first name terms and this sets the tone. Our School Values are Trust, Fairness and Respect: they apply to children, parents and colleagues equally.

Barrow Hill Junior School is just two minutes from St John's Wood Underground station and within speedy reach of the West End, mainline stations and all major bus routes. Lord’s Cricket Ground is virtually next door, Regents Park is two streets away and London Zoo is walking distance. It is a very happy, ambitious and sparky two-form entry school with 240 Key Stage 2 pupils. It’s popular and well-loved locally.

Here’s what we are looking for:

• Someone who will join in our team with good spirit and contribute their ideas
• Someone who will really go the extra mile so that learning is enjoyable and purposeful for the children
• Someone who has a good work ethic and will model our school values, putting them in action

We can offer you in return…

• Smaller English and Maths groups each morning with just 15-20 children who are fun, respectful and creative.
• A bespoke CPD package with excellent support from quality consultants who have dedicated time with you.
• A place in a team with genuinely friendly and supportive colleagues
• Investment in your career goals: we invest so that your skills and interests are shared and developed.

It’s worth looking at our website: www.bhjs.co.uk and reading our Prospectus.

We look forward to welcoming you to Barrow Hill!
