Are you a driven and compassionate KS1 teacher ready to make genuine impact? A warm, inclusive primary school in the heart of Islington is looking for an enthusiastic Year 2 Teacher to join their supportive team for a full academic year. This is an excellent opportunity for a skilled practitioner who thrives in nurturing, community-focused environments and is committed to helping pupils overcome learning barriers.
You will lead a friendly class of 22 pupils, supported by a dedicated classroom TA and a 1:1 assistant for a child with an EHCP. Many children are currently working below national expectations—at Reception and Year 1 levels—so the school is seeking someone confident in accelerating progress, closing learning gaps and inspiring learners with varied needs.
What You’ll Bring:
• Proven experience raising attainment for pupils below expected standards
• Strong understanding of SEND and effective collaboration with support staff
• Excellent behaviour management and the ability to create a structured, positive learning space
• Engaging, differentiated teaching that supports diverse starting points
• A nurturing approach that builds confidence and supports transition into KS2
Why This Role Stands Out:
• Supportive senior leadership and a collaborative staff team
• A chance to create measurable impact within a class that will truly value you
• Opportunities for professional growth while maintaining a healthy work-life balance
If you’re passionate about helping children reach their potential and available to start soon, we’d love to hear from you.
