The Academy
This large all-through academy is based in Edgware, with good local transport links and is a popular choice for families in the local area. In this specially designed building, pupils have the opportunity to grow and develop with facilities specifically designed for younger children, but with the benefits of the resources of the attached secondary academy. There is a strong leadership team in place within the primary academy, and staff and pupils enjoy a smaller, community atmosphere. There are good opportunities for professional development across the academy, including teacher training, making this a great option for graduates and those looking to further their career in education.
All Graduate Teaching Assistant roles are offered on an academic year contract from September 2026 to July 2027. There will be opportunities after this contract for outstanding Graduate Teaching Assistants to continue with the school into the following academic year to complete their initial teacher training via the paid SCITT programme.
