The Role
Are you a creative, innovative teacher who likes to think outside the box? If so, you may be the perfect candidate for our exciting and forward-thinking team.
Pupils at Kilmorie are confident, expressive and inquisitive young people who enjoy learning. The ideal candidate will be committed, enthusiastic and able to inspire our pupils, while steering their desire for learning in innovative ways.
Whilst we are initially looking for a KS1 or KS2 teacher, there may be opportunities for the right person to work across the whole school, we therefore welcome applicants from across the primary range and from all levels of experience (including Early Career Teachers). Please note, non-ECT candidates will be expected to lead a subject, if successful.
This role is for a September 2026 start.
Still interested? We would love to hear from you.

Lewisham is a vibrant and culturally diverse borough. This reflected in all aspects of daily life, from the response to the pandemic where the community rallied to support our most vulnerable residents, to the 170 languages spoken in our homes, schools and businesses. We have a rich history of welcoming people from all over the world and are proud to be recognised as the UK’s first Borough of Sanctuary, for our work in championing the rights of refugees and migrants.
As we plan ahead, we are working towards a fairer, greener, healthier and more economically sound future for all in Lewisham. This means continuing our efforts to tackle climate change for generations to come; ensuring that good health and wellbeing is equally accessible to everyone; and safeguarding local jobs and up-skilling residents with tools they need to succeed. Building on the community spirit and activism that has been so prevalent in recent years, we are committed to creating a Future Lewisham we can all have a part in.
