This is an excellent opportunity for an inspirational and experienced leader, to widen their experience as part of forward thinking senior leadership team in an all through 3-19 community school.
We are at the heart of an ethnically diverse community in London East, an area undergoing significant regeneration and the building of affordable homes. Everyone is proud of what we are achieving in creating an inclusive, supportive, happy 3-19 all through school on a brand new campus.
The school is located less than 10 minutes’ walk from Barking tube and mainline station (25 minutes from Liverpool Street station) and is easily accessible by road.
We foster a collaborative culture where talented individuals are empowered to produce their best work in brand new purpose built accommodation. All our staff and pupils are highly valued.
We are seeking a well-qualified and ambitious professional who is motivated to make a difference to the life chances of young people. The post would suit a team player who is committed to the happiness, well-being, self-esteem and progress of everyone at the school.
