About the school

Thank you for taking the time to explore our website. On behalf of the staff, children, and trustees, I would like to warmly welcome you to our school. I hope this site provides helpful information and offers insight into the values and aims that drive our community. We are proud to be a relatively new school, having opened in September 2019. During our first year, our reception pupils shared their learning space with another local primary, before moving into our purpose-built, state-of-the-art building in September 2020. We are delighted to serve pupils from Nursery to Year 5, in a vibrant and multicultural environment with excellent facilities. Our school is part of a wider educational trust and maintains strong links with a neighbouring primary, sharing core values of inclusion, creativity, and excellence. We foster a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where pupils develop confidence, responsibility, and independence. Our goal is to prepare children to contribute positively to their community and to become thoughtful, global citizens. High standards are upheld by the dedication of staff, parents, and carers alike. We believe children learn best through creative, motivating, and challenging experiences. Our thematic curriculum covers a wide range of topics, helping pupils understand how history, society, culture, science, and the environment have shaped the world we live in today. This approach encourages reflection on how past events, beliefs, and values influence our present and future. The curriculum is enriched with music, art, dance, drama, and educational visits, often utilising London’s rich heritage. Promoting a healthy lifestyle is a priority, and we offer regular physical activities such as gymnastics, dance, and PE. Our school boasts an impressive rooftop multi-use games area, enhancing outdoor learning opportunities. We have made significant investments in ICT, with all classrooms equipped with interactive whiteboards and pupils from Year 2 upwards using Chromebooks with access to Google Suite. Our teachers are highly skilled in integrating technology into their practice, ensuring engaging learning experiences both during and beyond the school day. We look forward to welcoming you and working together to support our pupils’ growth and development. A very warm welcome to our school community.

FAQ

Signing up

I'm having trouble registering

If the online sign up isn't working as it should for you then you can email your CV and a short description of what you're looking for to our team at teachwithus@zeneducate.com and we'll be in touch.

How do I interview? Do I have to come to your office?

To make sure you're getting bookings perfect for you, we will invite you to a 30-minute online interview with our team to learn about your experience, preferences and why you're passionate about working in education. You can do this through any smartphone or computer. If you'd prefer to interview in person at our office, just let us know.

I'm still in a full-time job/ not looking to work straight away and just looking

If you're not ready to find another role, or, you're definitely still welcome to sign up. Registering with us and letting us know what you're looking for will help us to get in touch with you about roles you may be interested in!

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.

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.

Can you apply for a DBS for me?

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.
