What skills and experience we're looking for

Are you the kind of teacher who believes every child deserves something exceptional—and is ready to help us make that happen?

At St. John Vianney Catholic Primary School, we’re proud to serve a vibrant, diverse community. We are proud that inspections recognise that, “children receive an exceptional education at this school…” and we know that that doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from a team that is committed, supportive, and genuinely cares about one another.

We’re looking for someone who can continue that work, with commitment and passion, who can join us on a fixed-term basis to cover an extended absence. This role is a chance to step into a school where togetherness is how we thrive.

What makes us different?

This is a place where:

  • Staff support each other; always
  • Ideas are shared openly, and everyone has a voice
  • Professional growth is exceptional, but never at the expense of wellbeing

You’ll be part of a close-knit, collaborative team—partnering with colleagues, learning from each other, and contributing to a culture that is both ambitious and deeply caring.

All of this means our children behave exceptionally and are ready for you to make the most difference in their primary lives.

What we’re looking for

We’d love to hear from you if you:

  • Bring strong, positive and creative energy and a believe that all children can succeed
  • Are committed to inclusion and high expectations for every pupil
  • Want to be part of a supportive environment—and actively contribute to it
  • Are ready to inspire, motivate and make a real difference

What the school offers its staff

Why join us?

Because this is more than just a teaching job. It’s a chance to:

  • Work in a school that is doing something special in a challenging context
  • Be part of a team that genuinely looks after one another
  • Help shape and build on an already strong, positive culture
  • Make a lasting impact on children’s lives

If you’re looking for an opportunity to grow, be supported, and make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.

We are an exceptional single-form entry primary community, situated in Tottenham, in the North London Borough of Haringey.

Our mission encapsulates all that we wish for our children:
“In our school children, staff, parents and carers, governors and parish will work together to create a caring, learning environment with Our Lord as the focal point in which each child is valued as an individual, nurtured and encouraged to fulfil his/her potential.”

Our children’s take on our mission is equally succinct:
“Everything we can be, with Christ in our hearts”.

Beautifully put, I’m sure you will agree.
We strive to live out these principles each day, and take great pride and satisfaction in doing so.

Our school is a bustling and vibrant environment for our children, parents and staff, and we are always working to strengthen our partnership and unity. Our sense of community is incredibly strong, and that is both a blessing and a sturdy foundation for our endeavours.
