Job overview
Kingsmead School is seeking to appoint a focused and enthusiastic Sociology teacher to join a hugely successful team in teaching one of the most popular subjects at A Level. The Sociology results are regularly in the top 10% nationally for progress and the leadership of the team is inspirational. Depending on the candidate, there will also likely be an opportunity for some lower school teaching of Humanities subjects such as Citizenship GCSE and/or Religious Education.
Kingsmead is a larger than average secondary school with a wonderfully diverse population. We are habitually in the top 20% for progress nationally at both GCSE and A Level. We do this with an ambitious curriculum that values the Sciences, Humanities and Arts in equal measure. We work very hard, but we also do this with the aim of making sure that what we do as teachers is about the impact of the hours we teach mark and plan, rather than the quantity.
If you choose to join us we can offer you:
- Students and colleagues who are enthusiastic about learning.
- Experience of a large, complex and long-term successful urban secondary school.
- A collaborative environment focused on improving everyone in the team.
- Supportive behaviour and performance management systems.
- A school that aims to do things the right way, not just the easy way.
We ask in return:
- That you are committed to the very best outcomes for all students.
- That you are aiming to be the best teacher you can possibly be.
Please read our person specification and the explanation of how our school values affect the way we run the school.
Kingsmead is committed to a culture of safeguarding, so applicants should expect to be submitted for an Enhanced DBS check and other background checks.

About Kingsmead School & Sixth Form
‘Practise to Perfect’
Kingsmead is a large, mixed, oversubscribed school – easily accessible from both central London and surrounds – with loyal staff, an established standing in the community and a very strong track record. We are consistently above average in Progress 8 and A Level value added, with high Ebacc entry and a wide range of options at KS4 and KS5. Those outcomes are built on a calm, purposeful and collaborative atmosphere.
Despite the school’s size and standing, the Headteacher was appointed relatively young after experience of leading for a high-performing academy chain and in one of the most successful London boroughs. He has restarted the school culture and approach over the last few years and is determined to push it forward from being in the top 20% nationally to being somewhere where things are achieved others do not think possible.
