Galleywall Primary was established in 2016, with its building dating back to 1876 and serving the community with distinction over the years. Galleywall has been graded Outstanding by Ofsted in both its inspections since opening (2019 and 2025), and our aim is to provide the best possible educational experience for our pupils. We have high expectations for achievement and conduct of the whole of the school community and were described in an inspection as a ‘joyful place to study’. We are fully staffed with well-qualified, experienced and energetic practitioners, and have the strong support of parents and the community. We support and challenge all our pupils, whatever their starting points, in a school known to be warm, nurturing and orderly. Our curriculum is rich and creative and is delivered with flair and imagination, and opportunities for high-quality cultural enrichment are abundant and varied. We aim for our pupils to show the five Galleywall values, being Enlightened, Aspirational, Individual, Entrepreneurial and Compassionate.
In our academy, we expect children to work hard and demonstrate dedication and commitment to their education. There are clear boundaries and rules that children must follow at all times. We teach and expect pupils to exhibit exemplary character and conduct, showing respect, kindness, and politeness towards one another and adults. In return, we provide them with an excellent education, fostering both academic success and personal development. We aim to help them cultivate the skills and values needed to thrive in later life.
We are part of the City of London Academies Trust, where we believe strongly in the transformational nature of education operating schools in areas of significant disadvantage. We understand that strong outcomes lead to improved life chances for our children, so we are unashamedly academic and unapologetically results driven. Each of our schools adopt a ‘warm/strict’ approach, combining high expectations with care and support. Our level of care means we never compromise on standards or expectations, ensuring that no child’s background becomes a reason for lowering the bar. Our schools maintain exemplary standards of behaviour, with systems, rituals and norms that instil strong habits. As a result, our schools provide an environment where our teachers can teach, and children can learn without disruption. We take great pride in fostering an exceptionally positive learning environment and we work meticulously to maintain our strong ethos and culture.
We combine the heritage and tradition of the Corporation of London with a genuinely innovative, enterprising, and entrepreneurial ethos. We look for ambitious and culturally aligned staff who are enthusiastic, hardworking, conscientious and energetic individuals. Our people want to work with children to ensure that, regardless of their background and circumstances, they will achieve to the best of their ability. In return, we offer a calm, orderly and respectful environment. We also offer a range of staff benefits and development opportunities which support your professional and career development. You will be able to learn from some of the best and most able practitioners in the country. There is a far-reaching commitment to ensuring that all our staff are given the access to excellent development and induction programmes.
