Ealing is an exciting borough to work in whether you are just beginning your career or seeking a new and exciting opportunity to develop your career further.

Ealing has 96 state-funded schools and nurseries, and 23 independent schools and is home to some of the best teachers in London. At a recent London Teaching Awards ceremony, Ealing teachers won in two categories, including best headteacher and a London careers leader award.

Pupils in Ealing schools achieve well above national on many measures, and our secondary school results place us among the top performing boroughs in London and top in the whole country for Progress 8.

We offer many benefits and opportunities in a diverse range of schools, with a supportive, professional environment and plenty of scope for career progression and development.

Ealing learning

partnership

The Ealing Learning Partnership (ELP) is a partnership between 88 schools and Ealing Council to promote educational excellence and wellbeing for all learners through collaboration and innovation with schools taking shared responsibility for their own development and success.

Established in 2017, our mission – to have no learner left behind – is key to our commitment to a true partnership and integral to our focus on equality and diversity across our work for children and young people. As members of ELP, schools benefit from high quality, cost-effective support that helps you to meet the needs of schools and learners across the borough.

Promoting equality and diversity

Additional investment by the council in ELP is enabling us to provide support to schools to develop and embed their approach to race equality.
