Dear Applicant, 

Welcome to The Hyde! We are ‘all about the children’ and as a Class Teacher you will be working as part of our team to create outstanding memories for our children. We are looking for someone who truly believes in helping all children to achieve their full potential! 

Our children are fabulous and have a unique learning experience as they travel through their journey at The Hyde. The Hyde School was graded as ‘outstanding’ at our last Ofsted Inspection in May 2015. 

Our school has incredibly well behaved children with fantastic attitudes to learning. The Hyde has a clear vision for school improvement and a successful strategy for making things happen! Our achievements have included: 

• Flagship School for Inclusion
• Being awarded The Wellbeing Award for Schools 2022
• Representing Barnet in the London Youth Games 
• The children do well at sports and win lots of medals in a range of sporting events, including winning the netball league five years in succession! 
• Extending our Urban Adventure Curriculum 
• Achieving above National Average outcomes for our children year after year 

We have devised an ‘Urban Adventure’ curriculum that is fun, skills based and relevant to the children. They have a huge say in what they learn. We actively encourage every year group to go on trips, whether it is into London or further afield. Their ‘urban adventure’ experience aids all aspects of learning and the children simply love it. The progress of learning that the children make is truly outstanding. 

Staffing Structure and Support 

We have an incredibly talented Leadership Team who work with Phase Leaders focusing purely on teaching and learning. I am seconded to our MAT for a day a week as the London Regional Lead for SEND supporting other Elliot Foundation Schools. Our team of Deputy and Assistant Headteachers lead on the teaching and learning agenda, developing their phase teams and middle leaders. 

There are huge opportunities for professional development at The Hyde. Our Deputy Headteachers, Assistant Headteachers and our ‘in house’ Lead Practitioners offer coaching cycles of support and team teaching experiences. We strongly encourage outreach work and many of us support other schools within The Elliot Foundation and in Barnet, Brent and Herts which also helps to generate extra income. 

Next Steps 

We are extremely proud of our children and the hard working, dedicated team of professionals working at The Hyde. We know we are really making a difference to the children and families in our community and that we are giving them the life chances they deserve. Please also look at our Twitter feed @thehydeschool.co.uk to get a feel for our school.

We do hope that you come and see it for yourself, as The Hyde is an outstanding learning community. Your visit to our school will show you that and our children will also tell you the same too! They are so proud of their achievements.
