- Work with Us

Belleville Wix Academy is a vibrant and supportive place to work. We are a successful school with a focus on positive learning behaviour and high expectations for all children. We are in a vibrant area of south London, close to Clapham Junction and Clapham Common, with excellent transport links to central London and across the south of England.

Belleville Wix Academy is part of Quality First Education (Q1E), a successful Multi-Academy Trust with four primary schools on five sites across south London. This is an exciting time for us and we want the best people to join us as we grow further.

Please see below for details of opportunities to join us. You can also read the blog post from our Headteacher, Séana Henry, for the Department for Education for Thank a Teacher Day.

Inspirational KS1 Part-Time or Full Time teacher required for our Bilingual Stream

Our school is truly unique as we offer pupils the opportunity to be educated in a bilingual setting. Working in partnership with the French primary school, École de Wix, we offer a bilingual stream, which is very popular with local families. Pupils in this stream are taught one week in English by a teacher in our team and the following week in French, taught by a teacher from École de Wix. The curriculum has been specially designed to meet the expectations of both the English and French National Curriculum. Teachers do not have to speak French to work in this stream. We believe it is a very exciting stream to work in.

Part Time

You would work one full week and one day the following week. This is equivalent to a 0.6 contract. We are open to discussing additional working time.

Full Time

You would teach classes on alternate weeks on a two week rota - one class in week A and another class during week B.

Children thrive at our school because they are well cared for. Our amazing teachers are determined to ensure every pupil is provided with the best education possible. Leaders ensure teachers are very well supported to do be the best they can be. If this sounds like the type of school you would like to work in, we would be delighted to hear from you.

If you love learning and think teaching is one of the most precious jobs in the world, please come and see our wonderful school. Our door is always open, so come and have a look. We would love to show you around.

What the school offers its staff

Belleville Wix Academy opened in September 2017 as part of the Q1E Trust. We firmly believe that “the quality of a school cannot exceed the quality of its teachers” and invest in our staff from the moment they join us. The career opportunities for staff across the trust are exceptional. To find the best teachers, we shortlist and arrange interviews on receipt of applications.

Being located between the bustling centre of Battersea and the open space of Clapham Common, transport links are great. Our school has a unique 'bicultural' ethos as we share our site and work very closely with a French primary school, École de Wix but you don’t need to speak French to work with us.

Q1E provides clear structures, excellent resources and outstanding professional development for staff. We are an outward facing trust and we believe in learning from the best schools and systems - you will have lots of opportunity to watch outstanding practice and get involved in wider projects across our dynamic Trust.

Who can apply: Applicants must have a suitable teaching qualification BA (Ed), BEd or PGCE (or equivalent). This role is not suitable for ECTs.
