Churchfields is a great place to work.

 

Ofsted (October 2023) say that at Churchfields:

  • Churchfields Primary School is a warm and welcoming place. Pupils, staff, parents and carers are all proud to be part of this community.
  • The provision for pupils’ personal development is impressive and consistently of high quality. It is underpinned by the school’s core values of aspiration, citizenship and excellence.
  • The curriculum that has been created by trust leaders is ambitious. It matches and, in some subjects, exceeds the ambition of the national curriculum.
  • Pupils rise to the high expectations for their learning and behaviour. In lessons, they are focused and have positive attitudes to their learning. They achieve well across the curriculum. 
  • Pupils are polite, well-mannered and courteous. Relationships between staff and pupils are nurturing. Pupils feel safe.
  • Staff value the collaborative working across the trust. They enjoy working here. They appreciate the efforts made to manage their workload and well-being.

 

We are a successful, popular school with a focus on positive learning behaviour and high expectations for all children. We are in a lovely area of south London with a supportive local community, lots of green space and good transport links, both into central London and out into Kent. In the context of south London we are in a relatively affordable area, and many staff are able to live close to the school.

Churchfields Primary School 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. We usually start recruiting teachers early in the school year, in advance of the following year. Opportunities to join our excellent team will be posted below. 

All posts at Churchfields are subject to an enhanced DBS with barred list check, and we may carry out online searches. It is an offence to apply if you are barred from working with children.

Article ImageThe Quality First Education (Q1E) Trust and Churchfield Primary School seek 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.

We welcome applications for class teaching roles starting in September 2025. 

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.
