We are looking for someone who:

What the school offers its staff

Greenvale is a one form of entry school, situated on the outskirts of Croydon on a large site with extensive outside green space. The school benefits from having a Forest School and close relations with The ARC, an exotic animal centre who run educational sessions for children. We pride ourselves on the high expectations and strong family atmosphere.

We have a very experienced and committed staff who are always keen to develop themselves and provide support to colleagues where necessary. We offer lots of opportunities to develop your career as a teacher and a leader through local CPD and links with schools both in the UK and abroad.

We achieved ‘good’ in our last Ofsted inspection in May 2023. The inspector picked up on our strong family ethos. Other key highlights were that ‘Pupils know that staff are here to help them do their very best’ and described the school as a place where children can learn and have fun. A peer review conducted in April 2025 stated that ‘staff are proud to work here’ and that there were no limits to what pupils at our school can achieve.

The school is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from all sections of the community. Any offer of employment will also be subject to satisfactory references being received in addition to documentation and qualifications being checked.
