About Our School
St Anne’s and Guardian Angels Primary School is a small yet, vibrant and caring community located in the heart of the East End of London.
Our aim is for all children to receive an education that is engaging and relevant to their lives, developing their curiosity, resilience and creativity along the way. In addition to a broad and rich curriculum, we ensure that pupils have opportunities to experience places and events that they may not ordinarily have access to and we are keen to make the most of our fantastic location. Our school is a highly inclusive school - we want all pupils, families and staff to feel included and represented here, and we work in the best interests of our pupils so that all children can achieve.
As a Catholic school, we offer a distinct education because we believe it is our mission to place Christ and the teaching of the Catholic Church at the centre of pupils’ lives. In doing so we hope to nurture the values, aspirations and morals that will inform pupils’ choices and actions, not just in school, but in all aspects of their lives.
At the heart of all that we do is our belief that every child deserves the very best and we look forward to working with you to achieve this.
We are looking for a teacher who...
- is passionate about making a positive difference to children’s lives within a culturally diverse community and is committed to achieving the very best outcomes for their pupils
- is dedicated to nurturing the whole child including their social, emotional and spiritual development
- has a creative and innovative approach to both planning and delivering lessons
- can create an engaging learning environment and teach appropriately pitched lessons in which pupils feel motivated to learn
- has high expectations for all pupils and plans effectively, adapting their teaching to support a variety of learning needs
- is resilient, adaptable and able to deal with challenge and change
- is a good communicator and will work collaboratively with colleagues
- is committed to their own professional development – a reflective practitioner who responds well to feedback
- is willing to support our Catholic ethos and mission
We can offer you...
- happy, well-behaved children who uphold the school’s values
- caring, supportive and hard-working staff who are committed to our pupils’ wellbeing and development
- for those candidates in their first or second year of teaching, a robust induction and support through the ECT programme from our accredited ECT mentor
- a strong commitment to your professional development - excellent CPD opportunities both in house and through external providers that we regularly work with
- a fantastic location (near to Brick Lane, Shoreditch and the City of London) and great transport links (Whitechapel, Shoreditch, Liverpool Street and Bethnal Green Overground stations are all within walking distance)
- pupil places for staff with children (Nursery – Y6) which includes free wraparound care from 8am – 6pm
