What skills and experience we're looking for
About the Role & Our Pedagogy
At St. George’s, we have a culture of sharing good practice, learning from one another and developing consistency across the school. Our classroom doors are always open. As a teacher here, you will:
Deliver Academic Rigour (Standards 1-4): Provide exceptional, evidence-informed instruction. We are an accredited 'Gold' training school for the Sounds-Write phonics programme and for Talk for Writing; you will use cognitive science to make learning stick.
Champion Inclusion (Standards 5 & 6): Deliver high-quality Ordinarily Available Provision (OAP). We believe in "Equity over Equality"—you will adapt your environment so that children with SEND, EAL or SEMH needs can access the same ambitious curriculum as their peers.
Master Trauma-Informed Behaviour (Standard 7): We view behaviour as communication. You will use our "Calm School Code" (Speak nicely,Listen carefully, Act kindly, Move calmly) and our consistent "Board Game" system to help children self-manage with dignity.
What the school offers its staff
What We Offer
Exceptional CPD: St. George’s is a great place to start your career. ECTs are encouraged to apply. You will find a great induction programme with UCL and our local Teaching School. All staff have access to cutting-edge, evidence-informed induction and training (including Sounds-Write).
Clear Systems: Our Handbooks help you to know exactly what you need to do in all aspects of school life so you will never be left wondering. You will also never be left to manage behaviour alone. Our trauma-informed systems are clear, highly structured and consistently supported by leadership.
A Mission-Driven Team: You will work alongside professionals who share your grit, resilience and unwavering belief in our children's potential.
Further information about the job
About You (Our Staff Culture)
Working at St. George’s is demanding but it is deeply rewarding for the right person. To thrive here, you must align with our "Power of 3" staff culture:
- Leave it at the gate: We bring our best, most professional selves to the children every day.
- Be solution-focused: If something isn't working, we collaborate to fix it.
-Protect the culture: We lift one another up, looking for solutions and support rather than moaning and blaming others.
-You must be comfortable championing our Church of England ethos while ensuring that every child, regardless of their background or faith, feels "known, loved and valued." You must also possess the emotional regulation to speak "truth with love" when navigating challenging conversations with parents.
Commitment to safeguarding
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
