• Start Date: September 2025

A vibrant and inclusive inner-city primary school in Peckham is looking for a passionate and experienced Year 6 Teacher to join their team from September 2025 on a fixed-term contract. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real impact in a school that is facing challenges head-on, backed by an inspirational Headteacher and a committed leadership team.
About the Role
You’ll be leading a Year 6 class, with full responsibility for planning, teaching, assessment and preparing pupils for KS2 SATs. You’ll benefit from working in a two-form entry structure, sharing planning and support with an experienced year group partner.
The school offers a broad, balanced, and creative curriculum, with a strong emphasis on the arts, sport, and personal development. Pupils are keen to learn, and while the setting comes with the challenges typical of an urban context, behaviour is positively managed with high expectations and clear structures in place.
Support for pupils with additional needs is strong, with experienced learning support assistants working closely alongside class teachers.
About the School
Located in the heart of Peckham, this diverse and community-driven school is proudly serving its local area. It’s a school that doesn’t shy away from challenges – and under the leadership of a dynamic and forward-thinking Headteacher, it is on an exciting journey of school improvement.
The leadership team is hands-on, highly supportive, and genuinely child-focused. Staff are united in their belief in the potential of every pupil and work hard to ensure they have the support, encouragement, and opportunities to succeed – both academically and personally.
The school is easily accessible via public transport, with excellent links across South London.
Person Requirements:
• A qualified teacher with recent upper KS2 experience
• Strong understanding of the Year 6 curriculum and SATs expectations
• Someone who brings energy, resilience, and commitment to the role
• A reflective practitioner who thrives as part of a team
