Behaviour Intervention Specialist Grade –SO1

Welcome to Stoke Newington School & Sixth Form, an excellent 11-19 comprehensive school. Our school has a great reputation and has strong longstanding relationships with the community. During our recent Ofsted inspection (July 2022) the school was recognised as continuing to be a Good school. There were many strengths highlighted in the report including;

“Pupils are proud of the diverse nature and inclusive ethos of their school. Enthusiastic and committed teachers make lessons interesting for pupils”, and “teachers have strong subject knowledge and are passionate about their subjects”.

We pride ourselves in providing our students with inspiring and creative teaching and learning opportunities within the curriculum and through our programme of extra-curricular activities. We aim that every child aspires to and achieves excellence. The fact that so many choose to stay on into our Sixth Form and take the qualifications they need to get into the universities of their choice, is proof of our success.

We are looking for ambitious, energetic, professional staff who are passionate about ensuring every one of our students achieves their full potential.
