The City of Westminster

A fantastic place to teach!

This London borough lies in the heart of London on the north bank of the River Thames.

Although Westminster is busy and vibrant, there is also a large residential population and great opportunities to teach as there are 41 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the borough. There are also a range of independent schools in which you can teach. Applying for a teaching role in Westminster will mean you are at the center of it all!
