At our Lewisham Primary School, we are committed to high aspirations, inspiring pupils and achieving academic excellence. Adults and children work together and create an environment in which everyone can flourish and achieve their true potential, both academically and socially. The school’s core values, provide an ethos which unites and empowers everyone to gain confidence, take risks and seize opportunities to excel in an ever-changing world.

Driven by our committed and inspirational leadership team, supported by the Trust, the school is a rapidly improving, forward-thinking school where pupils come first and attainment and progress is above national averages.

As we move into our next stage of development, growing to a 3-form entry local school of choice, we are seeking ambitious, inspiring, career-minded teachers looking for fantastic CPD and career opportunities, to grow with us.

Our stunning purpose-built new building is situated in the heart of our community and features fantastic indoor and outdoor PE and games spaces, as well as modern music and science classrooms.  Following feedback from pupils, we have transformed our KS1 play space, created reading areas, quiet spaces and an outdoor sensory area. More recently we have just created two new Sensory Zones to provide a safe learning space for children with SEND and those with additional needs. These developments provide the space to ignite the children’s curiosity, capture their imagination and provide all learners with the opportunity to excel.

We are part of an Outstanding Trust, the only Trust to have been accredited by the Department for Education to run an English, Maths and Teaching School Hub. These hubs open up a world of opportunities for you to develop your career with us in a high quality and tailored way.

We have experts from across the education sector feeding into the trust pedagogy on a daily basis providing staff with the opportunities to develop their subject knowledge and practice.

The Trust has also successfully created and received DFE Validation for the phonics programme Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised, which is being used to teach children to learn and love to read in more than 4,500 schools in England and internationally. In February 2023, our school became the 12th school to be awarded Champion school status, modelling exemplary practice and to provide information and support for Little Wandle members with the successful implementation of the programme.
