Harlington and Sundon Lower Schools are seeking an excellent teacher with a strong commitment to high-quality teaching and learning to join our supportive and professional team. This role offers the opportunity to make a real difference.

Harlington and Sundon Lower Schools are two vibrant village schools, located within three miles of one another, and sharing a Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team. They are both part of the Pyramid Schools Trust. The schools, nestled in beautiful countryside, are small schools with a genuine family feel. We pride ourselves on our values-based education and a close-knit team where everyone knows everyone. This fosters a warm, positive, and caring ethos that is truly at the heart of our school. Our fantastic facilities, including outdoor classrooms, spacious field, and outdoor gyms, provide rich and varied learning opportunities.

Your main teaching school and class will depend on the successful candidate and the whole school team. We can offer a highly supportive environment across two schools, a truly friendly staff team, and excellent opportunities for professional development to help you grow in your career.

Visits to both schools are welcomed and encouraged. Please contact us at office@harlingtonlower.co.uk or office@sundonlower.co.uk to arrange a visit and experience our wonderful schools in action.

The schools are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment.
