Primary Teacher job summary

Wren Academy Finchley and SMS J are looking for a talented and enthusiastic Primary Class teacher to work across Wren Academies Trust supporting Wren Academy Finchley and SMSJ in Hendon

Wren Academy Finchley opened in September 2008 as a new school sponsored by the London Diocese of the Church of England and Berkhamsted School. It takes its name from Sir Christopher Wren, the famous polymath, with the intent to inspire students to be curious and explore a wide range of academic disciplines. We have come a long way since 2008 and are now an all through school with over 1500 students aged between 4 and 18. The Academy has continued to grow as we opened our Sixth form in 2013 and have taken on new primary cohorts since 2015. Wren Academy Finchley is proud of its successes having secured exceptional academic progress for our students at EYFS, Phoncs, KS1, KS2, GCSE and A Level. We have also established a national reputation for excellence in teaching and learning, developing an approach that focuses consistently on enabling young people to be effective learners, regularly hosting visitors from the Republic of Ireland and Netherlands.

Wren Academies Trust was established in September 2020 with the opening of Wren Academy Enfield, a new 11-18 secondary school. The development of a second Academy has led to further collaboration and innovation with subject departments regularly sharing resources and aligning assessments to reduce workload. The trust is continuing to expand with the inclusion of St Mary’s and St John’s, another Barnet all-through school, who formally joined the Trust in 2025. The size of the Trust provides many opportunities for continued Professional Development and career progression.

Both SMSJ and Wren Academy have a supportive and wonderful staff looking for someone passionate and enthusiastic to join one of our teams from September 2025.
