About the school

We aim to achieve high academic standards by encouraging independent learning in a stimulating and child-centred environment. Creativity, in all its aspects, is integrated throughout the curriculum. The community revolves around respect: for each other, and the building in which we work. The atmosphere is one of mutual trust, tolerance and friendship. We aim for the pupils to develop over the course of time into responsible, self-confident, aware young people, ready to embrace the challenges of secondary education. The school has a strong tradition and deserved reputation for academic excellence. The Curriculum The school was founded on the fundamental principle that the creative arts be valued in equal measure to core subjects. To meet this aim and to ensure that all pupils are prepared for a world which will be very different from the present day, the school adopts a flexible and creative approach to the curriculum. The curriculum is designed not only to challenge the pupils but also to prepare them for life. Hence Spanish is taught throughout the school, Mandarin from Reception to Year 3, Latin is introduced in Year 5 and French is available as a club from Reception. Within the curriculum pupils are encouraged to question and challenge assumptions through the vehicle of Philosophy for Children and to work independently, as well as collaboratively. Learning to work in groups and teams is given due attention. ‘Teams’ are identified in sport, in drama and in music. Thus all pupils experience a range of opportunities to learn the importance of taking shared responsibility. Art and Design Technology are both considered essential subjects. Pupils are taught to draw and to experiment with texture and form. All pupils learn the basic skills of netball, football, rounders, pop lacrosse, hockey and athletics. Teams represent the school in netball and rounders. All pupils from Year 2 upwards have 1 chess lesson a week. The school has chess teams who compete locally and nationally. School lunch provided

I only have overseas experience. Is that OK?

Generally schools prefer teachers and TAs who are familiar with the UK Curriculum, but this can vary. We'd be happy to speak to you about your experience, and find out if we'd be able to help you find a role.

Vetting

What documents will I need to provide?

We'll need evidence of your identity, right to work and teaching qualifaction. In addition, we'll need an enhanced DBS certificate and references from two recent previous employers.

Roles

What roles do you cover?

We help Teachers, Teaching Assistants, and Cover Supervisors find work. We work with all types of schools and help with short-term, long-term and permanent roles. Many of our long-term roles convert to permanent roles. We make it far easier than a traditional agency for teachers to convert temporary positions into permanent ones.

What areas do you cover?

We work with over 400 schools in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Leeds.

How much work is there?

Generally speaking, we have consistently high demand for daily supply teachers in Greater London, Manchester Birmingham, Bristol and Leeds. Teaching assistant work is generally higher for long-term roles rather than daily supply cover.

Do you have primary, secondary or nursery jobs?

Yes. We can help with daily supply and long-term jobs in nurseries, primary schools and secondary schools. We don't typically have jobs in further education or college.

Do you have work for cover supervisors, invigilators, or school administrators?

While the majority of our work is for teachers and teaching assistants, we do also have work for cover supervisors and invigilators. Explain what you are looking for when you sign up and our team will help you.

What subjects do you cover?

We cover all subjects taught in primary and secondary schools - if you're not sure if we can help you with what you're looking for, please register and arrange to speak to a member of our Teacher Success team.

Do you do school admin jobs?

If you're looking for teaching or teaching assistant roles, and would also be interested in admin roles, it's worth letting us know. If you're only looking for admin roles, we might not be the place for you, as this isn't what we specialise in.

General

How is Zen different from a recruitment agency?

Zen Educate is a technology platform to connect teachers with schools directly. Agencies are an expensive middleman between schools and teachers. They have to charge high commissions because their booking procedures are largely manual and run on outdated systems. Because we run more of the process online or on your phone, we create an experience that delights schools and teachers at a fraction of the cost.
