The School

Herne Hill Primary School (PS) is a welcoming, inclusive and community focused school where our values of Respect, Resilience, Inclusion and Striving for Excellence guide the way we learn, work and grow together. Our motto, Together We Achieve, reflects our belief that strong relationships and genuine partnerships between students, staff, families and the wider community are central to successful learning.

Our 2026 to 2029 Strategic Plan provides a clear direction for continuous school improvement. It places high quality teaching and learning at its core, alongside early intervention, inclusion and wellbeing, future ready learning, cultural responsiveness, developing great teachers and leaders, and strengthening partnerships with students and families. We believe every student can achieve success when they are known, valued, challenged and supported.

The Role

Ideally, we are seeking teachers who are committed to evidence informed practice, high expectations, inclusive teaching and continuous professional growth.

Staff contribute to the broader life of the school through clubs, sporting activities, camps, cultural and community events and other extracurricular opportunities that enrich the experiences of our students. We value teachers who are willing to share their interests and strengths and work alongside colleagues, families and community partners to create opportunities for children to connect, participate and succeed.

We are seeking teachers who would be active members of our school community, contribute to our strategic direction and help shape the next stage of Herne Hill PS improvement journey.
