The New Wave Federation consists of 3 high performing and innovative primary schools in Hackney, London. In all our schools we have a passion for high standards and want all our children to achieve their potential and be inspired to go beyond that. We aim to provide the best possible primary education in a stimulating and creative environment. The Federation was recently awarded Apple Distinguished School Status.

We are seeking to appoint Federation Assistant Headteachers to work in our schools and join the Federation Senior Leadership Team. All three schools are in close proximity to one another. Grazebrook is in the Stoke Newington area and is a National Teaching School, Shacklewell is in the Dalston Kingsland area and Woodberry Down Primary School is at Manor House.
