• Positive, Inclusive Culture: The school embraces diversity and promotes wellbeing for pupils and staff.

• Collaborative Teamwork: You’ll be part of a close-knit, supportive team who share best practices and celebrate successes together.

• Focus on Wellbeing: Children are encouraged to thrive emotionally and socially, not just academically.

• Offers valuable experience in behaviour management and emotional regulation strategies.

• Convenient term-time hours—great for balancing work and personal life.

• Easy access to transport links in North West London.

What We’re Looking For
