This role is based at Hackney New Primary School, part of Compass Eko Trust. 

Join an ambitious school where every child is expected to achieve highly

At Hackney New Primary School, we are unapologetically ambitious for every child. We believe that background should never determine outcomes, and we are committed to ensuring that all pupils leave our school with the knowledge, confidence and character to succeed.

We are looking for 2 motivated and reflective teachers to join our Key Stage 2 team - two ECTs who are ready to build on strong KS2 training experience and develop into an excellent classroom practitioner within a high-performing, supportive environment.

What makes this role different?

• A clear focus on high achievement for all pupils, underpinned by strong curriculum thinking

• A knowledge-rich curriculum supported by the Compass Eko Trust

• A collaborative teaching culture where planning and practice are shared

• A structured and supportive environment for ECT development and early career progression

• A longer school day, balanced with time off in lieu, ensuring your working hours across the year average 32.5 hours per week

In this role, you will:

• Deliver high-quality teaching across the Key Stage 2 curriculum, ensuring lessons are well-planned, engaging and inclusive

• Maintain high expectations for all pupils, securing strong progress, positive behaviour and wellbeing

• Work collaboratively with colleagues on planning, assessment and moderation

• Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement and high standards across the school

• Build strong relationships with pupils, parents and carers to support learning and development

This is an opportunity to contribute to a Trust that is deliberate about how it improves practice and outcomes.

Compass Eko Trust is a family of 28 schools working as one system to improve outcomes for every child. We are united by a clear commitment: every child achieving, without exception.

Through a knowledge-rich curriculum, strong professional collaboration and a shared commitment to excellence, we support our schools to deliver high-quality education in their communities.

Our schools sit at the heart of everything we do. The Trust exists to bring clarity, consistency and support so leaders can focus on what matters most - teaching and learning.
