EYFS Room Leader

London Academy is located in a pleasant suburb of Casablanca, near to the Ville Verte. It is a Smart School where teaching and learning are designed to prepare our pupils for the competencies needed for the 21st century. Science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics are seamlessly integrated in the curriculum with physical learning environments where the pupils can achieve their potential in creativity and critical thinking. 

The School adopted the British curriculum through the Cambridge International School Programme. Experience of working in a school that follows either of these curricula would be an advantage.

All staff are expected to work in a partnership with parents/carers and have an eager commitment to liaise with them at every opportunity.
