Required, September 2026

Paxton is proud to be part of the Wandle Learning Trust. Over the past five years, the school has grown from strength to strength, benefiting from strong Trust support, a dynamic leadership team and a shared commitment to excellence for every child. This progress was recognised by Ofsted, with the school achieving a Good judgement in 2020.

Paxton is a vibrant, ambitious and inclusive school at the heart of its community. As part of the Wandle Learning Trust, we are committed to providing an exceptional education for every child while creating an environment in which staff can flourish professionally and personally.

Our school has evolved significantly over recent years and is now a thriving two-form entry primary school with a growing nursery provision. Recognised by Ofsted as a Good school, we are proud of the high expectations we have for all pupils and the strong outcomes they achieve.

We are equally committed to ensuring that every child feels valued, supported and able to thrive. Our dedicated sensory areas and inclusive learning environments provide additional support for children with SEND and those who benefit from calm, nurturing spaces throughout the school day.

We are looking for talented and enthusiastic teachers who share our belief that every child deserves the very best. In return, we offer a supportive and collaborative culture, high-quality professional learning and the opportunity to make a genuine difference to the lives of our pupils and families.

Our sector-leading teacher and curriculum development arm, Wandle Learning Partnership, is home to the English, Maths and Teaching School Hubs. We are the only Trust accredited by the Department for Education to lead all three hub programmes, creating exceptional opportunities for staff to develop their expertise and progress their careers through high-quality, tailored professional learning.

As a member of Wandle Learning Trust, you will have access to nationally recognised training, coaching and leadership development. Our experts work alongside schools across the country, shaping educational practice and providing opportunities to deepen subject knowledge, refine teaching skills and broaden leadership experience.

The Trust is also the creator of Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised, the Department for Education-validated phonics programme now used by more than 5,500 schools across the UK and internationally. This nationally recognised programme reflects our commitment to evidence informed practice and ensuring that every child learns to read confidently and develops a lifelong love of reading.

The school’s core values, provide an ethos which unites and empowers everyone to gain confidence, take risks and seize opportunities to excel in an ever-changing world. We are proud to provide two dedicated Sensory Zones, offering safe and supportive learning spaces for children with SEND and those with additional needs. Together, these environments help to ignite children's curiosity, capture their imagination and provide every learner with the opportunity to thrive and excel.
