Primary - Class teacher

Churchfields is a popular primary in Beckenham in south London, with large grounds including a forest school. Our ‘ACE’ vision - Aspiration, Citizenship and Excellence - sits at the heart of everything that we do. We have a strong commitment to inclusion and our provision includes a two class SEN provision for children with severe and complex needs.

We are part of the Quality First Education trust we firmly believe that “the quality of a school cannot exceed the quality of its teachers.” We invest in our staff from the moment they join us.
