THE ROLE

We have a unique opportunity for a talented teacher to teach English at our primary school in central London.

WHO WE ARE

Churchill Gardens is a primary school situated at the heart of our local community. We are proud to have been providing a high-quality education for generations of local families over many years. 

We are part of Future Academies, a Multi-Academy Trust which includes three primary schools and seven secondary schools in and around London and Hertfordshire. We are motivated by a mission of social change and reducing educational inequality. We are unique in our approach to a knowledge-rich curriculum – our school motto is Libertas per cultum (Freedom through education) – and in our strong emphasis on raising young people’s aspirations and outcomes through the teaching of classical and traditional subjects. Our children and young people study a bespoke curriculum developed by researchers at our Curriculum Centre, which places a focus on developing their cultural literacy and their awareness of the forces, words and events that have shaped our society today.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We are seeking bright, passionate and socially-minded individuals. Successful candidates will demonstrate: 

• A strong academic record, with a 2:1 degree or above in English or a related subject from Oxford, Cambridge or another leading university. 
• Great passion for your subject. 
• The enthusiasm and energy required to work with the children and young people in our schools. 
• An unwavering belief in the power of education to change lives. Our Trust’s motto is libertas per cultum (freedom through education). We expect all teachers to share in, and feel empowered by, this concept. 
• We welcome applications from secondary teachers and from unqualified applicants. 

WHY CHOOSE US?   

• The chance to make a difference to children’s and young people’s lives. Future Academies is of the belief that all children have the right to enriching education through a knowledge-rich and child-centric approach: our teachers can therefore make a dramatic impact on the lives of these children.
