Job overview

Are you passionate about changing the life chances of young people?


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 Leyton and Leytonstone. We are lucky to have two fully resourced sites: one in Leytonstone (just two stops away on the Central Line from Stratford) and another at Walthamstow Central!

As a co-educational, six-form entry primary school, Barclay is one of the largest and most high-performing primary schools in the country. Judged by Ofsted in May 2016 and November 2021 to be "outstanding" across all categories, Barclay has risen from the bottom 5% of schools nationally in 2008 to sustain a place in the top 3% of schools nationally. 

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 affords us.

The school was recently inspected under the new OFSTED framework in October 2021 and remains "OUTSTANDING"

OFSTED reported:

'Staff enjoy being part of the team at Barclay. They are well-trained and value the detailed guidance that is available when planning their teaching. The staff appreciates the ways in which leaders support them to manage their workload effectively. '

We are looking to appoint a SENCO with the relevant SEN qualifications to lead learning at Barclay and guide staff in developing consistent practice in the teaching and learning and provision for SEN pupils (including vulnerable and looked-after children), ensuring high-quality learning opportunities, pastoral care, safeguarding, and behaviour through the management of inclusion so that all children achieve the highest standards of attainment and achievement.
