Hither Green is an exciting, diverse and well resourced Primary School situated 3 mins from Hither Green station. There are now 600 children aged 3-11 years on roll. It is described by DCSF as “one of the top 100 most improved schools in the country over three years”. Staff say it is a vibrant and dynamic place in which to work and 100% of parents agreed in a recent survey “My child likes school”. Our children are from a huge range of backgrounds, faiths and families and represent a true inner London community.

We want to appoint an experienced, positive, well informed leader and teacher who is able to create this new role within our school. Hither Green has a 3 year highly successful and well established partnership with Brindishe – an ofsted rated outstanding school and there are proposals to formally federate the two schools under one family name from September 2010.
