Babcock 4s is the School Innovation Services Provider for the London Borough of Waltham Forest. Babcock provides school improvement services to Waltham Forest, and provides education services nationally. The Babcock School Improvement Service works in partnership with schools and settings to improve the quality of teaching and learning for all pupils from the most vulnerable to the most able. The service provides a combination of the core Local Authority role, services that are focused on schools with the greatest need, the promotion of schools’ own strategies for improvement through partnerships and networks.

Our schools are interesting and varied and as a teacher in Waltham Forest, our welcoming and diverse community will provide with you with an opportunity to be part of an LA that never stands still and which offers constant challenges and rewards. You will have the opportunity to experience a vibrant mix of cultures and gain a wealth of experience in a London Borough close to the Capital but with the green belt on your doorstep.
