Job overview

Future Academies is an ambitious family of four local schools and a teacher training college (SCITT), all situated very close to each other in South Westminster. Ours is an immensely exciting educational environment, encouraging KS2 teachers to specialise so that they can share their passion for particular subjects and so that they have the time to develop their subject knowledge and to hone their pedagogic skills for those one or two subjects. In this way, we hope to set a new high standard in maintained education that offers the rigorous but exciting teaching that will allow our students to leave our primary schools with the knowledge, skills and confidence to make the most out of their secondary education.

We are looking for English teachers confident in their subject with the vision, intellect and drive to motivate and enthuse our pupils. You will be expected to teach using a knowledge-led approach across the full ability range at KS2, and to share in our vision of developing excellence in our pupils and forging new directions in education.

We can offer you:

  • The opportunity to teach English throughout the primary age range in one or more of primary schools
  • Enthusiastic and hardworking pupils
  • A supportive, cohesive and very purposeful environment
  • Excellent CPD in preparation for your next career step
  • High quality facilities with excellent resources
  • A location easily accessible by train, tube and bus

You will be:

  • Passionate and knowledgeable about English
  • An outstanding teacher who is committed to a rigorous, knowledge-led curriculum, and able to deliver it innovatively and excitingly
  • Dedicated to making a difference to the lives of our pupils
  • Committed to the wider life of the school, and willing to engage in a weekly extra-curricular activity

Applications are welcome from experienced teachers and NQTs, including those currently in the secondary or independent sector.

About Future Academies

‘Freedom Through Education’

Future Academies is a Multi-Academy Trust, established in 2008 and sponsored by Lord and Lady Nash’s charity, Future. Future Academies was founded with the aim of improving the life chances and raising the aspirations of young people. The Trust’s motto, ‘Libertas per Cultum’ (‘Freedom through Education’), is the clearest distillation of Future Academies’ vision for education: to grant students freedom from deprivation, prejudice or ignorance, as well as to endow them with the freedom to question, to choose, and to excel.

To achieve these goals, the Trust believes in the power of a first-rate, knowledge-rich curriculum: such an education is the best foundation for helping young people to succeed and overcome social barriers, irrespective of their backgrounds or starting points.

Future Academies currently comprises ten schools, across London and Hertfordshire. It also has its own Curriculum Centre, where researchers develop high-quality curriculum resources which are designed with knowledge at their heart, and which give young people access to the best that has been thought, known and said.

Since its formation in 2008, the Trust has carefully selected its projects, taking on the running of failing schools and turning them around. Working with young people who are often materially and socially deprived, Future Academies seeks to provide a first-rate education and to raise ambitions at all its schools. Their aim is for young people to leave their schools ready to take their place in the world - well-educated, motivated and with strong leadership skills, personally accomplished and determined to make a positive and lasting contribution to the world they step into. They firmly believe that a child’s background should not be a barrier to success and those who work for the Trust are committed to delivering an education that broadens students’ horizons in a truly transformative way.
