Dear Colleague,
At Barclay Primary School we live, work and learn through our five core values: Aspiration, Respect, Kindness, Responsibility, Honesty.
We are a popular and fully-inclusive primary school situated between Leytonstone and Walthamstow. We are lucky to have two fully resourced sites: one in Leytonstone (just a stop away on the Central Line from Stratford) and another at Walthamstow Central!
We are forward-thinking, caring and, most important of all, a happy school where pupils of all abilities and social backgrounds achieve. Our ‘Five Ways’ values are at the heart of everything we do and all decisions we make. Our pupils are exceptionally well-behaved, aspiring always to be “the best versions of themselves”. In our 2016 OFSTED (read it here), inspectors noted that: “Pupils are proud of their school, exceedingly polite, enthusiastic about their learning and exude confidence” .
Support for new colleagues at Barclay is outstanding. We incorporate our trust induction programme alongside bespoke career professional development. Programmes range from Newly Qualified Teacher development through to Middle and Senior Leader qualifications. Our partnership with the Institute of Education enhances this CPD offer, with many professional qualifications open to our team.
Our offer for every teacher:
· Bespoke CPD and professional development opportunities;
· An enhanced PPA offer, including additional “pre-PPA” to support you;
· A large leadership team, to offer you the support and guidance that you need;
· Cutting-edge technology provided by partners Google and Apple;
· A staff perks membership: providing loyalty rewards and discounts from retailers;
New for 2017-18:
· All teachers receive a chromebook that converts to a tablet, to support planning.
· Every teacher is given teacher development time in addition to PPA to support your personal growth.

About Barclay Primary School
At Barclay Primary School we live, work and learn through our five ways.
As a co-educational, six form entry primary school, Barclay is one of the largest and most high-performing primary schools in the country. We are a popular and fully school, serving a diverse community in the area of East London, Waltham Forest. We are committed to playing a leading role in the embetterment of all our pupils and set equally high standards for every member of our team. Every role, in every setting, can and will directly impact on how our pupils thrive during their time with us - we operate as one team, with one common goal - to ensure that we deliver the best possible education for every one of our pupils.
We want to recruit staff that engage and inspire both pupils and colleagues. Ideal candidates will be resilient, hardworking and willing to go the extra mile to ensure that our provision is 'Good or better, everyday’
Following a successful Ofsted inspection in October 2021, the school has maintained a very well-deserved overall rating of Outstanding in all areas. Ofsted Inspectors noted that the curriculum is well designed and organised to ensure that pupils learn an ambitious range of knowledge and skills, supporting pupils to achieve well and produce work of a high quality in different subjects.
As a school, we benefit from being part of the Lion Academy Trust and deploying the proven systems and pedagogies to inform how we operate. From the highly resilient IT infrastructure to the fully resourced and sequenced curriculum - we proudly function as part of the family of Trust schools and celebrate the opportunities that being part of a high performing Trust afford us.
As an employer, we are forward-thinking, caring and, most important of all, a happy school where pupils of all abilities and social backgrounds achieve. Our ‘Five Ways’ values are at the heart of everything we do and all decisions we make. Our pupils are well-behaved and always aspire to be “the best versions of themselves”.
