Class Teacher job summary

Thank you for taking an interest in this role.

We are really excited to have an opportunity to bring new ideas, enthusiasm and excellence into our fast-improving school.

We are looking for someone with enthusiasm for all aspects of school life, someone who loves children and wants to make real, every teacher’s commitment to making a difference. In return we offer you the opportunity to contribute, to the future of our school community and make a real life-changing difference to our children.

Westminster is almost twice as large as an average primary school with very high mobility - children join us and leave us throughout the year. Significant numbers of our new children are asylum seekers and refugees and experienced severe trauma on their journey to our country, community and school. We know a number of our children have 3 or more ACEs through our Safeguarding and Inclusion work and recognise that there will be many more where we have not had notification or provide intervention.

We serve an area of extremely high socio-economic deprivation, where experience of, and aspiration to, education success has been historically and significantly low - IMD & LSOA data confirms the children live in an area that is identified as being in the most deprived 5% of the country and has become more deprived since 2015.

Our local community was even more adversely affected by the COVID pandemic due to its existing difficulties and is still recovering from the impact. Our community outreach work is growing; we support around 100 families in many ways including debt counselling; food bank supporting at least 30 families per week (this has doubled since 2021-22); access to benefits advisor; supporting families fleeing domestic violence; providing clothing and essential household items; support for applying to secondary schools and basic language & number skills training for parents and carers all in addition to the ongoing academic communication.

All of these challenges have resulted in our proactive work to ensure that our safeguarding work, refreshed curriculum, inclusion support and behaviour support meet the needs of all children, including the large proportion who are new to the country, community & school. This work also means you are trusted and supported to make positive relationships with the children, nurturing them and helping them grow, learn and love life.

You will be pivotal to our work at a time when we are making exciting changes to our school and at a time when our children need a kind, caring, hardworking and aspirational teacher to guide them on their way. You will be joining a team of supportive staff, ready to help you flourish in the early stages of your career.
