As one of the most successful and over-subscribed, non-selective schools in South West London, we are a truly inclusive and dynamic place to work.
The successful candidate will work as part of the Learning Support Department supporting pupils with special educational needs, both with and without Educational Care Plans. Previous experience is not essential, but the successful candidate will have a genuine desire to see children with a range of needs included within the normal classroom environment wherever possible. A good standard of literacy and numeracy is a prerequisite for this post.
As a vibrant school of just over 1,000 pupils with a thriving academic Sixth Form, Saint Cecilia’s is also a caring Christian community, and together with a close-knit team of dedicated teaching and support staff, has achieved excellent academic success. Whilst candidates must be in sympathy with the aims of a Church of England School, a Christian commitment is not essential.
Located close to Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Club, Saint Cecilia’s is well connected to central London and the West End, as well as the tranquil Surrey countryside, by exceptional transport links. The school lies within the Inner London Weighting area, which adds a significant increase to salary.
The nearest underground station is Southfields (District line – Zone 3 and less than a five-minute walk), which is only five minutes from Wimbledon station and 16 minutes from Earl’s Court. The area is well served by numerous bus connections to Clapham Junction and Richmond.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults, and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All posts are subject to an enhanced DBS check. The school will research all shortlisted candidates on social media platforms and the internet, and the recruitment panel may take this information into consideration during the recruitment process. The online checks will be carried out by Social Media Check, an independent agency.
Please note we do not accept CVs.
We regret that we are unable to offer skilled worker visa sponsorship to non-UK citizens for this role.
The deadline for applications is 9:00am on Monday, 10th June 2024

The Aims of the School
Saint Cecilia’s Church of England School is an inclusive, co-educational and community-orientated academy, for pupils and students, aged 11-18 years. Specialising in Music and Mathematics, it is a well-respected and highly oversubscribed school. Our teaching is exceptional, our curriculum is challenging, standards of behaviour are high and our results are consistently strong.
As a Christian school, our mission is ‘Glorifying God through outstanding, enjoyable education’ which defines both our purpose and ambition.
By the time they leave us, our pupils have a strong sense of right and wrong, a commitment to going above and beyond, and a clear understanding of how they can make a meaningful contribution to society.
In order to fulfil our vision, that our school community lives life abundantly, our Mission Statement will seek to:
- Develop the whole child.
- Promote the highest standards of academic achievement, motivation and self-discipline in all pupils.
- Ensure high quality teaching and learning in all subjects and at all key stages.
- Encourage each individual child to develop her or his talents to the full.
- Ensure that everyone is treated equally and with respect.
- Develop in pupils an awareness and appreciation of spiritual, moral, social and cultural values and attitudes.
- Help pupils develop creative, lively and critically enquiring minds and the ability to question and discuss rationally.
- Promote an awareness of our place in, dependency on and respect for the world environment.
- Promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.
At Saint Cecilia’s, we want every pupil to enjoy their school experience - both in and out of the classroom - and see their time here as part of a lifelong journey of learning. Fulfilment comes from personal achievement, and we offer a wide range of opportunities to help pupils grow, both academically and beyond. Our teaching approach encourages both independent and collaborative learning, building confidence through cooperation and healthy competition. We celebrate progress while providing clear guidance for continued growth.
