Job overview
We welcome applications from people looking for a part time role or flexible working.
Who we are
The most difficult problems in society are ultimately solved by ensuring all students have access to an incredible education system. We are determined to make this the case in Feltham. We’ve got a really clear idea about the type of teachers we’d like to join our team. We know there is a recruitment crisis right now, but that doesn’t mean we’ll just settle for anyone we can get.
Who you are
- You know the difference a good teacher can make to a child's future and are determined that their socio-economic background will not dictate this.
- You believe that establishing strong relationships with students supports their personal development and preparedness to learn.
- You work collaboratively and understand that we achieve more working together.
- You have a relentless focus on the development of your classroom practice and welcome coaching and support.
What we offer
- Department offices, assigned classrooms, staff laptops, cloud technology; we do our utmost to make your job work for your benefit.
- We think differently; take our school day as an example. Our later start of 9:20am for students allows our staff time to plan in the morning, whilst they are fresh. It also responds to the adolescent brain, which is more alert later in the morning.
- Staff meetings take place in the morning; developing our staff is always a priority, it is only right that this takes place at the start of the day, free from the distractions and fatigue of the school day.
- Finish at 1:50pm every Friday and start at 8:50am on Monday and leave your work at school; make the most of your weekend!
- We are a good school (Ofsted 2018) and offer genuine support and guidance to our staff, after all, you are our most important resource.
- A wide range of benefits from flexible working to flu jabs and a lot more in between.

Here at Springwest Academy, part of Tudor Park Education Trust, we’re always seeking to better our best. We strive to provide outstanding teaching and abundant opportunities in a wonderfully diverse and compassionate community. We lead by example, providing the inspiration and encouragement needed to nurture fledgling aspirations, confidence and motivation. There is a culture of working together with an At Springwest we… approach to everything we do. Students can focus on making strong progress in a safe and happy environment because they know this is how we do it here. In turn you can plan outstanding learning knowing that students accept that this is how it is done here at Springwest. Our recent Section 5 Ofsted inspection (March 2023) judged the school to be a Good school and these are some of the highlights of what they observed:
“This is an inclusive school. Staff support pupils well so that they can succeed.”
“Teachers have high expectations of what pupils can achieve. Pupils work well in class and are keen to learn”
“Low-level disruption in lessons is rare. Staff use the behaviour policy consistently in classrooms. As a result, pupils know how to behave in class and they follow the school rules.”
Our pastoral structures and systems are excellent and each year group has an attached Pastoral Mentor and Achievement Coordinator. In addition the academy is recognised as having some of the highest quality provision for supporting vulnerable students. We look for every opportunity to celebrate our successes and involve our staff in all aspects of improvement.
We benefit from fantastic sporting facilities and excellent ICT, that allows us to continually develop a more imaginative and modern curriculum. All members of our teaching staff are issued with a laptop and there are interactive boards and projectors in every teaching room. The entire site is covered for wireless access allowing all in our community to learn wherever they may be. We have a very experienced ICT managed service which offers us excellent support.
We offer a cycle to work scheme and free annual flu jabs. All our staff are entered into pension schemes (Teachers’ Pensions or the LGPS). We take staff wellbeing seriously and have an Employee Assistance Programme which offers free counselling and advice.
We also benefit from having a day nursery and a preschool located on our school site, both of which are open 7.30 am to 5.30 pm Monday to Friday. They are called Little Georges Nursery (www.littlegeorges.co.uk ) and Georges Preschool (www.georgespreschool.co.uk ). They can offer discounts and flexibility for staff working in our school, depending on the hours needed.
Springwest is located on a large green site less than 30 minutes from Waterloo and only 7 minutes’ walk from Feltham station. With easy access to the M3 and M4 we are also well located for staff looking to live outside of central London.
