About the Role

About the school

This opportunity is based at a welcoming and inclusive primary setting in North West London. The school provides a nurturing, trauma-informed learning environment designed to support children who benefit from a more personalised approach to education. With small class sizes, a calm and focused setting, and a strong emphasis on emotional development, this academy empowers every child to re-engage with learning and thrive both academically and socially.

The school follows a values-led approach centred on respect, dignity, integrity, and compassion. Staff work closely with pupils to build trust and create a sense of belonging, making this a unique setting where aspiring teachers can grow their skills and make a meaningful impact. The school is part of a nationally respected trust committed to inclusive education and professional development.
