About Us

To start January 2026 

Shaftesbury Park Primary School is a vibrant and inclusive school at the heart of Battersea. 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 KS2 teacher who is passionate about nurturing every child’s potential. Experience in Enterprise education 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 forward thinking, ambitious school environment with a strong commitment to Enterprise Education 
• 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
• A committed staff team.

You will:

• Have QTS
• Be passionate about making a real difference
• Be an outstanding practitioner, who is both self-motivated and works well in a team
• Enjoy working with a diverse community
• Have a proven track record of pupil progress and closing gaps in attainment.
