We are lucky to have our very own heated covered pool which was funded over fifty years ago by our PFA. We currently have improvement plans in place which we hope to implement this during the next year which will extend our swimming provision to all year round.

You will be ready for exciting challenges daily as no two days are the same within this extremely rewarding role.
About You:
We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated individuals who love working with children to help them develop their skills. You will need patience and great communication skills – the essentials of a great instructor!

About Lovelace Primary School
I am delighted that you are interested in joining us.
Lovelace Primary School opened in 1954 and we have been educating children in the localities of Hook & Chessington for nearly seventy years. Situated in the south west of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames on the very edge of the greenbelt, we benefit from an extensive and beautiful school site.
We are a large school with a BIG heart! Currently we are a school with three forms of entry and a 52 place nursery. Our children, teachers and numerous support staff members ensure a vibrant and buzzing learning environment. There is a full range of extended services provided by our Sunrise and Sunset provisions (breakfast and after school care) from 8am until 6pm.
Originally an infant & junior school, the school amalgamated in the 1980s and whilst some of the buildings date from the fifties, many are more recent including our purpose built Nursery class and our ‘North Wing’ comprising of four state of the art environmentally friendly classrooms.
The school grounds are attractive and spacious comprising of a woodland walk, bird hides, a wildflower meadow, a large amphitheater. There are attractive landscaped lawns in the front of the school and a large playing field at the rear, together with generous, hard play areas. In addition, we have allotments and an orchard and a beautiful Estonian redwood pine outdoor science & nature education centre – we call this the ‘Dolly Lee Lodge’ named after our very first headteacher!
Our learning environment is very well resourced. We have two large halls used for assemblies, dance, drama & sport. We have a large ICT suite plus extensive facilities for computing, a large library, a nurture room, a family kitchen and our very own covered swimming pool.
We employ people who are passionate about ensuring that our children have the best possible experience at school irrespective of their contexts or starting points to maximize their achievement and progress. We are also a learning community and want all school staff to continue their professional learning with us be it through our extensive range of professional development in school, through Education Kingston or through our links and networks with neighbouring teaching schools. Our governors also take care of the well being of our staff recognizing that they are our most important resources for example, our school staff are enrolled in the Benenden Healthcare scheme.
