Class Teacher

We are looking to recruit a dynamic and energetic class teacher to help take the school towards an exceptional place both nationally and in the local community. 

Set in the heart of Mitcham’s historic conservation area, SS Peter and Paul Catholic Primary School is a vibrant and aspirational establishment with a positive approach to learning and behaviour, as highlighted in our recent ofsted inspection (May 2016). We have renewed the school’s vision and purpose, and are now looking to continue building SS Peter and Paul on its journey to excellence.   

The school works collaboratively with the Merton Deanery Catholic schools: we are currently engaged in a project to raise the standards of STEM across the primary schools. We are part of the Mitcham Town Community Trust, which addresses the needs of children and families in the local area, and through which study at Masters Level is subsidised. We are a partnership school with Maths NoProblem, offer school to school support in regard to C.P.A mathematical approaches and assist local schools to improve their approaches to Teaching and Learning.   

We enjoy good transport links to Wimbledon, Sutton, Croydon, Tooting, London Bridge and London Victoria, and are within easy reach of the Surrey Hills and the South Downs.
