School Business Manager
Mission Grove is an exciting, friendly and engaging place to learn and work. The school enjoys a respectful, co-operative and mutually supportive staff team where the children are the centre of everything we do. Mission Grove is a learning zone for pupils, staff, governors and the local community. Everyone has a responsibility to be positive about the school and promote the school’s excellent reputation.
In June 2023 the school underwent a short OFSTED inspection and was judged ‘Good’.
'Leaders and staff have high expectations of what pupils can achieve.'
The 2 areas that were identified as areas that the school needs to improve are embedding the curriculum and being more strategic.
The school is on a split site, North (Buxton Road) South (Exmouth Road).
We are a four form entry school, except in 2019/20 cohort which has 3 forms of entry. We have a 50 FTE place nursery on the North site and a 20 FTE place on the South. We provide 2 year old provision for 20 FTE children on the North site. We offer full time nursery places on both sites.
We offer ‘wrap around care’ in the form of breakfast and after school clubs, as well as a Holiday Club.

Equal Opportunities
Waltham Forest is a diverse borough where diversity is valued and is integral to both, service delivery and employment of its staff. The Council is proud of its rich mix of communities and as the largest employer in the area, it works hard to respond to the changing needs of its population. We use our statutory duties on race, gender and disability equality and best practice in respect of age, faith and sexual orientation to ensure equality of opportunity in the workplace. The Council is committed to meeting its 4 equality objectives: - Promoting equality of opportunity - Opposing all forms of discrimination, intolerance and disadvantage - Ensuring our workforce reflects the diverse communities of Waltham Forest at all levels. - Providing fair, appropriate, accessible and excellent Services to all. Respecting Diversity is a core Council value. To support the above and reduce the risk of bias in its recruitment activities, the council is operating an anonymous shortlisting process, which hides personal information that can identify individuals until their application has been considered for shortlisting. The council also operates a scheme whereby, for jobs graded up to and including scale SO2, internal candidates are considered first. This includes those candidates who self-identify as having a disability for the purposes of the Disability Confident scheme. For more information, please refer to our recruitment and selection policy
