What the school offers its staff
The BA (Hons) in Primary Education can be studied mainly online and makes full use of your experience and reflections by integrating degree learning and assessment with your everyday practice. You can work in a paid role with the Trust, and complete your studies alongside in your own time.
The course costs £4,000 per year for 3 years, and the full £12,000 can be initially funded by you through a student loan if needed. This is payable in instalments after you finish your studies and begin earning above the threshold (further details available). This represents a substantial saving of more than £15,000 compared to ‘traditional’ routes through Universities.
Following successful completion of the 3 year course, you will continue onto the 12 month course leading to Qualified Teacher Status and finish with a 3 month End Point Assessment. The course and EPA is funded by the Trust.
Graduates would be able to begin teaching following the achievement of QTS and at which point, we would love to consider you for a teaching role with the Trust.
If you would be interested in exploring this opportunity please view our candidate booklet available on our website.

Brookfield Primary Academy is one of 7 schools that make up LEO Academy Trust.
Located in North Cheam, Brookfield is a two form primary with nursery offering 30 hours childcare. Brookfield was inspected by Ofsted in July 2019 and was found to be good in all categories. The inspectors found that "Leaders, governors and representatives of the trust have a very clear vision for what they want pupils to experience and achieve while at Brookfield. They have an accurate understanding of the school’s strengths and use this to plan effectively for improvement. There is a real focus on raising standards. Consequently, many
outcomes are better than when the school first joined the trust."
