Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School

Corpus Christi School exists to serve the Catholic communities of Brixton Hill and its neighbouring parishes. We are here to educate our children to the highest possible standard in a community which has the gospel values, traditions, and beliefs of the Catholic Faith at the centre of its ethos.

Christian values will be upheld in all aspects of the school, with an emphasis on respect, helpfulness, unselfishness, and co-operation.

Our whole school community of children, parents, staff, and governors are justifiably very proud of our school and its successes. These successes are evident both in the academic standards achieved and in the excellent curriculum on offer to the children.

We aim to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment in which each child can thrive and develop his or her own interests and talents, so that they are provided with the best possible start to their education. Our staff are central to making this happen.

As a school we benefit from excellent staff retention whilst still providing opportunities for new teachers to grow in confidence and develop their practice in a nurturing but challenging environment, supported by skilled mentors, phase leaders and a very experienced leadership team. As an inner city, multi-ethnic school we would like to develop our workforce so it is representative of the local community and encourage applications to reflect this.

We are looking for teachers who:

• are outstanding practitioners
• have the ability to create a rich, stimulating and exciting learning environment
• has excellent interpersonal skills
• is passionate about learning and understands how children learn
• is able to communicate well with colleagues, pupils, parents and governors
• will take an active part in the life of the school
• will support our Catholic ethos, although there is no requirement to be Catholic

  In return we can offer you:

• the opportunity to work within an outstanding school
• confident, well behaved, happy children who are eager to learn
• dedicated and highly effective staff who are committed to the wellbeing of our children
• the opportunity to work within a supportive and nurturing team
• a varied and enriched curriculum
• supportive parents
• a culture of achievement and enjoyment
• opportunities for continuing professional development
• Staff benefits include, cycle loans, parking schemes, childcare vouchers
• A friendly and social environment where efforts are made to include all staff across the school. From social/fundraising events to exercise classes!
