The Local Governing Body is keen to appoint a ‘quality first,’ Upper Key Stage 2 teacher to join our ambitious and successful staff team. 

We are an ‘outstanding’ school and are determined to maintain this status for our students, who deserve an excellent education. We know we can only do this by providing an environment in which teachers enjoy working and feel valued and supported by senior leaders to do well.  All teachers work within a supportive team overseen by a Year Group Leader and Assistant Head Teacher. We work hard to provide an environment that considers your workload so that you have time to plan, prepare and enjoy teaching the children in your class. 

We understand that teaching in Years 5 and 6 comes with unique demands, as we prepare our children for the last phase of their primary education and transition to secondary school. We are therefore offering extended PPA time (20% for Year 5 and 30% for Year 6), taught by specialist teachers, to support this work. You will also have access to a pool of class learning support assistants and administrative support, including data collection.

This is a very exciting time for Hillingdon Primary School, as we lead on the development of The Elliot Foundation Teaching School and we are thrilled at the opportunities this presents for our staff to grow and develop.  

We are very keen to hear from experienced teachers who are interested in sharing their expertise / skills with other schools and can provide opportunities for the right candidate to develop as an Expert Teacher / Specialist Leader of Education. Many of our teachers eventually move on to middle and senior leadership positions, due to the opportunities we provide to support a teacher’s development and career. We also welcome applications from teachers who wish to develop their teaching career within the classroom.

We are proud to be part of the Elliot Foundation, a multi-academy trust specialising in primary education, and maximise the opportunities this presents to collaborate and work with other academies and like-minded teachers for the benefit of our students. The Elliot Foundation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Further information regarding The Elliot Foundation can be found at: http://www.elliotfoundation.co.uk.  

Visits to the school are welcomed and encouraged. Please telephone or email Mrs Sher (Business Leader) at nsher@hillingdonprimaryschool.org.uk to make an appointment.  

If you would like an opportunity to speak to someone about the role, please contact our academy office to arrange a discussion with the Principal, Mrs Ann Bowen-Breslin. For further information on the school, please see our website: www.hillingdon.hillingdon.sch.uk.
