Senior ICT Technician

Our amazing school is looking for people with high aspirations, the desire to achieve and succeed – both for themselves and the students, but also for the community and their colleagues. This means we’re looking for creative thinkers, inspiring individuals and team players.

Part of SEARCH Education Trust, Heartlands High School is located within Wood Green, Haringey.  We opened as  a new school in September 2010 in state-of–the-art facilities.  We are now oversubscribed and a first choice school for parents and students in the local community.  Our intake is diverse and is a real reflection of the community that we serve.  Our aspirations for this community are high and we want our students to have access to the very best education.

Our vision for the school is simple.  We want our students to obtain a commitment to learning through achieving outstanding learning, outstanding partnerships and an outstanding ethos.  We expect our students to achieve higher than the national average results and we support them in getting there.

The ethos within the school is consistently recognized as a strength, supported through SEARCH.  We teach our students that school matters, that the effort is essential, that achievement will carry them forward, that active citizenship matters and that none of this can be achieved without the highest of aspirations.
