Child abuse squad detectives have raided the home of a Perth school teacher, allegedly finding more than 1000 child exploitation images and videos.

Police raided the 29-year-old's Tuart Hill home on Monday and seized several electronic storage devices that allegedly contained the material.

The man, a West Australian Catholic primary school teacher, only graduated from a teaching degree two years ago.

Since then, the man has taught at primary schools in the south-west region, the Perth hills and Inglewood.

Specialist investigators are now trawling through more than 1000 images and videos as part of the investigation.

The 29-year-old has been charged with possessing and distributing child exploitation material, and will appear at Perth Magistrates Court on March 21.
