What skills and experience we're looking for

The Quality First Education (Q1E) Trust seeks strong class teachers who share our vision of an excellent education for all.

We welcome Early Career Teachers (ECTs) and we think our trust is a really great place to start a teaching career.

Please read our Q1E Teacher Pack (see Additional Documents) and see our website for more information.

What the school offers its staff

Our schools are a great place to teach!

We are a primary-only Trust of four schools in London, with a vision of an excellent education for all. We pride ourselves on our 'quality first' provision, for our children, staff, and schools.

At Q1E, we believe that ‘the quality of an education system (or school) cannot exceed the quality of its teachers” (McKinsey 2007). We provide excellent opportunities for class teachers, with outstanding professional development and support from the outset.

We ensure our teachers have the resources they need to do an excellent job, supported by a high quality, well sequenced curriculum. We provide you with plans for all lessons, in all core and foundation subjects.

If you are new to teaching, you will be supported every step of the way. We are very proud of the support we provide for Early Career Teachers, starting with a paid three-week induction programme in July.

Our staff and schools are supported by great leaders, as well as our central team who provide ongoing pedagogical support and training.

Our trust is big enough to have excellent support and resources, and a great network of colleagues to work with and learn from - but small enough for colleagues to know each other really well, and provide bespoke support.
