About Us

To start September 2025 

Class Teacher Opportunity — Join the Team at Shaftesbury Park Primary School

Are you an inspiring educator ready to shape the next generation of changemakers? Shaftesbury Park Primary School, a vibrant and inclusive school at the heart of Battersea, is seeking a Class Teacher to join our dynamic team from September.

We are proud to be a Flagship School for Enterprise, where children are encouraged to think creatively, work collaboratively, and develop the confidence to lead. In our classes, pupils learn through real-world challenges and develop essential skills such as teamwork, communication, and critical thinking—all while having fun!

We are looking for a motivated and reflective teacher who is passionate about nurturing every child’s potential. An interest in maths is welcomed—but not essential. What matters most is your enthusiasm, commitment to inclusive practice, and desire to deliver engaging, high-quality teaching that builds both knowledge and character.

We offer:

• A warm, values-led school community with a strong commitment to bilingual (English/French) learning
• A leadership team that invests in staff wellbeing and professional development
• Curious, creative and kind children who rise to challenge and love to learn
• A chance to innovate and lead within a school known nationally for its work in enterprise education

This is more than a teaching job—it’s a chance to inspire young entrepreneurs, innovators and global citizens.

Come and see what makes Shaftesbury Park so unique.
