What skills and experience we're looking for

The Quality First Education (Q1E) Trust seeks strong class teachers who share our drive for improvement, excellence and equality.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a part time teacher to work in our English-French bilingual stream. You do not need to be able to speak French (although we are always keen to hear from those who do)!

At Belleville Wix Academy we have around 300 pupils, a fantastic staff team and a supportive parent/carer community. Our school is truly unique as we offer pupils the opportunity to be educated in a bilingual setting. Working in partnership with a French primary school, École de Wix, we offer a bilingual stream, which is very popular with local families. It is a very exciting stream to work in.

Pupils in our bilingual stream are taught one week in English by a teacher in our team and the following week in French, taught by a teacher from École de Wix. The curriculum has been specially designed to meet the expectations of both the English and French National Curriculum. You would work one full week and one day the following week. This is equivalent to a 0.6 contract. We are open to discussing additional working time.

Please read our Q1E Teacher Pack (see Additional Documents below) for our full role description.

What the school offers its staff

Belleville Wix Academy opened in September 2017 as part of the Q1E Trust. We firmly believe that “the quality of a school cannot exceed the quality of its teachers” and invest in our staff from the moment they join us. The career opportunities for staff across the trust are exceptional.

Being located between the bustling centre of Battersea and the open space of Clapham Common, transport links are great. Our school has a unique 'bicultural' ethos as we share our site and work very closely with a French primary school, École de Wix - but you don’t need to speak French to work with us. If this sounds like the type of school you would like to work in, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Our door is always open, so come and have a look. We would love to show you around.

Ofsted say:

Pupils enjoy coming to school.
Leaders and staff are determined to ensure every pupil is provided with the best education possible.
An outstanding start in the early years prepares children exceptionally well.
Provision for reading and mathematics is exceptionally strong.
Staff across the trust’s four schools work together to plan their teaching. This sharing of expertise and resources is of much benefit to pupils and keeps staff workload manageable.

Teachers benefit from a supportive, developmental environment with plenty of opportunities for career growth. We have a well developed, outstanding curriculum with a full set of units and lesson plans. Lessons are reviewed during joint planning sessions to ensure all teachers feel well prepared and well supported. We have strong systems in place to help children achieve, so learning behaviour is excellent here. We provide amazing enrichment opportunities including visits, trips and clubs. We have a committed staff team, supportive parents and carers, and most importantly, truly incredible children!

Belleville Wix Academy is part of Quality First Education (Q1E), a successful Multi-Academy Trust with four primary schools on five sites across south London. This is an exciting time for us and we want the best people to join us as we grow further.
