At St John’s, we believe great teaching changes lives. We are looking for a motivated, reflective professional who will inspire young learners and contribute positively to our school community.

Why join us?

St John’s is a thriving, one-form entry school in the London Borough of Barnet with a genuine family feel. Every child is known, valued, and supported—and the same is true for our staff. We are proud to offer a welcoming, collaborative environment where colleagues enjoy working together and supporting one another.

Our most recent Ofsted report (July 2022) highlights:

“Pupils are rightly very proud of their school… They look forward to learning and, like their teachers, have high expectations. All pupils learn successfully here.”
