Second in Charge -English

Haberdashers’ Knights Academy is a vibrant, diverse 11–18 school community with a relentless focus on high expectations and aspirations. We serve the families of the local community in the London Boroughs of Lewisham and Bromley and are part of the Haberdashers’ Academies Trust South, a well-established multi-academy trust of four secondary and five primary schools in southeast London and Kent with over 6000 students and 600 staff. The scale of expertise and leadership across our Trust gives us enormous capacity. It is this capacity that has resulted in the success of the Trust and allows us to mount new ventures and allows our staff to take on new opportunities and rapid development trajectories.

Haberdashers’ Academies Trust South is a multi-academy trust with five primary and four secondary schools in and around south-east London.   Our mission is for all of our children and young people to be successful at school so that they flourish in their lives. We will only be able to achieve this ambition if we are a great employer who can attract, retain and develop great staff.
