Our academy in Hornchurch supports 64 young people aged between 11 and 16 who have been permanently excluded from school.

Our ideal candidate is an experienced teacher who can inspire our students and develop their physical and emotional resilience.
A teacher who will:
• Plan and teach innovative, exciting lessons which engage children and young people age 11 to 16 - including those facing barriers to learning and those with social emotional, mental and health needs.
• Inspire our KS3 to KS4 students – share with them a passion for sports, challenge and outdoor learning and offer a range of accredited qualifications e.g. sport leaders, FA qualifications, BTEC/VCert/GCSE PE or Sports Studies
• Promote participation, enjoyment and performance as core values, engaging reluctant learners and students at all levels of ability
• Work closely with your colleagues to embed high quality outdoor learning activities into our academy’s curriculum – helping to plan and manage expeditionary learning activities.
• Understand the benefits of outdoor learning and be able to measure the effects/ impact of outdoor learning on our students’ wellbeing and progress.
• Be a role model to our students, showing leadership, resilience, and empathy.
Our recently refurbished academy in Hornchurch offers an impressive range of facilities including state-of-the-art classrooms, a science laboratory, a canteen, a multi-purpose hall, atrium, extensive teaching kitchens, gardens and a multi-sports pitch. We welcome visits from potential candidates.
