Job Description

About Us

Our school values of 'Bravery, Community, Curiosity, Resilience and Respect' underpin most of our work because we know these five values contribute strongly to positive attitudes to learning.



Children who attend are between 4 and 11 years of age. London Meed is organised into two classes per year group.



Our Early Years Foundation stage is called 'The Orchard', KS1 has four classes, including a covered outdoor classroom, and KS2 has eight classes, with six of those opening onto the KS2 playground with a field. The other classes open onto an internal courtyard area.



We have a Special Support Centre for eleven children with EHCPs primarily for Speech and Language disorder or difficulty. Our SSC is currently full.



We are proud of the breadth of experiences we offer our school community because we aim to encourage and promote contribution through attendance at sports, academic and music clubs. We ideally want every child to pursue an interest in something, by offering memorable learning experiences.
