Class Teacher

Belvedere Infant and Nursery School is a large, popular and successful community school. The Senior Leaders and Governors are highly ambitious for the school’s long-term success and work together to create an inclusive environment where pupils’ personal, emotional and academic needs are met.  We aim to nurture our pupils’ individual talents to achieve their potential within the safe and happy environment of our school. We encourage high standards of self-discipline, behaviour and respect whilst providing a broad and balanced curriculum.  Our school has a diverse range of pupils from a variety of backgrounds and ethnicities.  We were graded 'Good' by Ofsted in July 2016. 

Are you an outstanding teacher who wants the opportunity to make a difference to the lives of children who deserve the best?  We are a caring and supporting school who are committed and passionate in changing life opportunities for the children in our care on our journey towards “Outstanding”.  

We are looking for a candidate who has a good work ethic, has very high expectations of themselves and others, who works well in a team and is able to contribute to the wider life of the school.

Our KS1 and Early Years are well resourced both in the classrooms and in our amazing outside learning area.  The school benefits from a wonderful school team with highly skilled and supportive teaching assistants, a supportive governing body and our fantastic children who are motivated to learn.  

We are part of the Bexley Educational Improvement Partnership and work with a group of schools, both primary and secondary to improve life opportunities for the children that we work with.
