Class Teacher and Phase Leader (either Y5/6 or Y3/4)

Heathmere Primary School is an inner London school on the edge of Richmond Park that was judged as ‘Good’ by Ofsted for the first time in its history in November 2014. We are looking to appoint an inspirational teacher to lead a phase. The preferred phase will be discussed during the interview but will be either Y5/6 or Y3/4.

• An opportunity to develop your teaching
• A team of staff and governors who are passionate and committed to our school being the best it can be
