We put Teaching and Learning alongside student progress and staff development at the heart of all we do. 

Your future learning environment was opened in 1993 Guru Nanak Sikh College at the request of the community by our founder Sant Baba Amar Singh Ji.  His vision is that through education we can eradicate poverty and ignorance.  The Academy is dedicated to educating and supporting students and staff to better their outcomes and continue lifelong learning by  "providing an outstanding learning environment which challenges us all, staff and pupils, to achieve our full potential and to share our successes, knowledge and skills with the local, national and global community". (Mr R. Sandhu - Executive Principal).

The Academy is an oversubscribed all through Academy in Hayes, Hillingdon.  It currently has a 6 form of entry in the Secondary Phase with a Sixth Form and 2 form of entry in the Primary Phase.  Due to the growing needs of the curriculum, we are looking for a Teacher of Geography for September 2020.

With success across all of our Humanities based subjects we are looking for ideal individuals who wish to develop their career within a range of subjects and form part of our successful humanities teams.

With Geography expanding, History continually successful and RE constantly one of our highest progress scorers we aim to develop the successful candidate to offer more than just one specialism and broaden their skills and delivery across the Humanities spectrum.  The successful candidate will be happy to teach across the Humanities at KS3 and have the ability to develop their skills to teach across at least two subjects at KS4 and work within a variety of teams.
