An exciting opportunity has arisen for a passionate and committed Year 1 Teacher & RE Lead to join a vibrant and inclusive Primary School in Tower Hamlets. This is a fixed-term position for one year, starting January 2026, ideal for an experienced teacher who is enthusiastic about leading Religious Education alongside their classroom teaching responsibilities.

  • Contract Type: Fixed Term – 1 Year
  • Working Pattern: Full Time, Term Time Only
  • Salary: Dependent on experience (MPS/UPS)
  • Suitable for: Experienced teachers (not suitable for ECTs)

About the Role

We are looking for a highly motivated teacher to take on this dual role, combining classroom teaching in Year 1 with leadership of Religious Education across the school.

Some of our Year 1 pupils are working at EYFS level and have additional needs, meaning elements of EYFS practice will be an important part of your teaching approach. You will work within a collaborative team that values creativity, inclusion, and high expectations for all pupils.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Delivering high-quality, engaging lessons for Year 1 pupils
  • Incorporating EYFS strategies where appropriate to support pupils working below age-related expectations
  • Leading and developing the Religious Education curriculum across the school
  • Supporting and challenging pupils with additional needs to ensure progress for all
  • Creating a safe, inclusive, and inspiring learning environment
  • Building positive relationships with colleagues, parents, and the wider school community
  • Contributing to the school’s ethos, values, and ongoing development

What We’re Looking For

We welcome applications from teachers who can demonstrate:

  • QTS with proven classroom teaching experience (MPS/UPS)
  • Strong knowledge of the KS1 curriculum and EYFS practice
  • A passion for, or experience in, leading Religious Education
  • High expectations for all pupils, with a commitment to inclusion and equity
  • Excellent classroom management, organisation, and communication skills
  • A reflective, motivated, and collaborative approach to teaching and leadership

What the School Offers

In return, you will be joining a school that is committed to supporting both pupils and staff to thrive. We offer:

  • A warm and welcoming community with a strong ethos
  • Enthusiastic and motivated pupils who enjoy learning
  • The opportunity to make a real difference to pupils with additional needs
  • Professional development and opportunities to grow as a leader
  • A collaborative, forward-thinking, and supportive staff team

How to Apply

If you are a dedicated and inspiring teacher with a passion for Year 1 teaching and Religious Education, we would love to hear from you.
