Teach Now is delighted to be supporting a warm, vibrant two-form entry primary school in Islington as they seek an inspiring Reception Teacher to join their Early Years team on a part-time basis. This welcoming Catholic school embraces families of all faiths—and none—creating a diverse, inclusive community where every child is known, valued and supported to flourish.
The school is a truly lovely place to work: nurturing in ethos, forward-thinking in practice, and united by a shared belief that every child deserves the very best start. Staff describe it as a collaborative and positive environment where high standards go hand-in-hand with compassion and joy.
About the Role
As a Reception Teacher, you will play a pivotal role in shaping children’s early learning experiences. Your responsibilities will include:
• Planning and delivering engaging, developmentally appropriate EYFS lessons
• Creating a safe, stimulating and nurturing environment where children feel confident to explore
• Supporting children across all areas of learning, including early literacy, numeracy and personal development
• Working closely with families to build strong home–school partnerships
Contributing to the wider Early Years team and helping maintain the school’s high standards of behaviour and care
What We’re Looking For
• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) with EYFS experience
• A creative, warm and reflective practitioner
• Someone confident in establishing routines and fostering positive behavior
• A team player who values collaboration, diversity and community
• A teacher who believes wholeheartedly in giving every child the tools to reach their full potential
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
• A supportive, close-knit staff team
• A school culture that blends high expectations with genuine care
• Wonderful pupils, engaged families and excellent facilities
• The chance to make a meaningful impact during a crucial stage of development
