Assistant Principal – Director of Learning and Engagement

Exceptional teachers create exceptional results; they transform lives and transform futures. They support every pupil to achieve their full potential and become a confident, resilient and compassionate individual who can make a positive contribution to society. We believe that exceptional teachers like you should be supported too, with all the opportunities you need to develop your career and achieve your goals. So build your future with the City of London Academy Shoreditch Park, a new school that’s part of the City of London Academies Trust.

Already the country’s best performing Trust for the new Progress 8 measure at KS4, we are driven by ambition: to deliver world-class results as we combine the heritage and tradition of the City of London with creativity and innovation.

We’re committed to providing first-rate training and development to all of our teaching staff, as well as excellent career advancement opportunities within this evolving Trust. You’ll find high expectations here too; we expect the kind of exemplary conduct from students that allows our teachers to do their jobs as effectively as they can. 

City of London Academy Shoreditch Park is a new school that opened in September 2017. From September 2018 we will provide 376 much needed secondary school places in the London Borough of Hackney. When full, we will have capacity for 1140 students, all enjoying state of the art resources and inspiring learning opportunities.

In this post you will play an instrumental role in setting up this brand new academy, developing whole-school systems and ensuring that the school is outstanding in every category within three years.  You will be working with a team whose mission it is to embed excellence in everything we do. 

The Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. An enhanced Disclosure and Barring check will be required for the successful candidate.
