Job overview

Bobby Moore Academy is an all through school, providing a world-class education for the children of east London which is transformational in its impact on their life chances.

We are building partnerships with the new East Bank development, bringing incredible opportunities to the young people of East London.

Since the school was founded in 2017, we have set ambitious academic standards backed up by exciting enrichment opportunities, whilst nurturing and caring for the wellbeing of every child. At capacity, our two sites will accommodate over 1500 pupils, including a Sixth Form opening in September 2022. We currently have over 850 pupils on roll across Reception-Year 3, and Years 7-11 in the Secondary phase. The academy will grow year on year to reach full capacity in 2025.

We expect the highest standards from our pupils and staff, and we are looking for someone who will be genuinely inspired by the chance to apply their knowledge and experience in a setting designed to be among the best of its kind in the country.

We are a school with a huge heart, enormous ambition for our staff, students and wider community, and we understand the importance of excellent teacher and leader development.  We encourage applicants to satisfy themselves that they are aligned with our trust-wide approach to evidence informed practice, teacher-led instruction, warm:strict behaviour and culture, and a knowledge-rich curriculum, as these things are cornerstones of our approach and are integral to our educational philosophy.

This is an integral role in supporting the Principal in all aspects of school leadership. The successful candidate will be an outstanding practitioner in their own right, with the experience to lead across both academic and pastoral provision, and who, as part of a team, will lead our Secondary students to exceptional progress and attainment outcomes.
