Key Stage 1/EYFS Teachers

St John’s Catholic Primary School, St Elmo’s Road, SE16 6SD

St John’s is an inclusive and thriving small school in the heart of Rotherhithe which is rightly proud of its pupils and their supportive families.  We have a rich and varied curriculum and believe that much learning can take place out of the classroom which is why we love to go on a school trip!

St. John’s is a Catholic School and although many of our families are from a faith background some are not. We believe in promoting a harmonious community bound in the love of Christ.

The school is situated close to Canada Water and is easily accessible by Jubilee Line, the Overground and the many buses that bring shoppers to Surrey Quays Shopping Centre which is a five minute walk away. We back on to a park and protected woodland and use the quietness of the setting to enhance our children’s learning.

The School would like to appoint committed teachers to join our team as we help and support our pupils to fulfil their potential. The Governors are looking for talented and enthusiastic teachers who have a passion for making a difference to the learning and life chances for children. 

We can offer you a School, which has: 

Children that are happy, well behaved, enthusiastic and eager to learn.

Friendly, supportive and committed teaching and support staff colleagues.

A caring and supportive learning community, strong links with parents, and local businesses.

On-going CPD with regular release time to reflect and improve on your practice beyond PPA time.
